Ethics is everyone’s job
It sounds cliche, doesn’t it? But more and more this feels critical. Whether it’s civil rights, the environment or something else, we are faced with moral issues in our daily work.
One of the big problems, however, is that far too often issues of ethics are swept under the rug or assumed too confidently. What I mean by the former is that we might be faced with an issues, quickly grapple with and and give up. In other cases we might push it to the side altogether (externalities anyone?). By the latter I mean that unsolved ethical issues are assumed to be solved. They’re then codified and holy shit, down the track we realise we may have got it wrong…
So what to do?
Well, if you’re familiar with our work you’ll know we have ideas about how to make progress.
But this is all challenging. And we’ve by no means even close to figured it out.
For this and so many other reasons, I’m excited to bring you our latest episode of 1 Insight, 1 Interaction.
This episode features Dr. Matt Beard. Matt’s an applied ethicist, author, speaker, podcaster and fellow at The Ethics Centre. I’ve had the good fortune of working with him on some of our client projects at Greater Than X.
In the episode we cover issues and opportunities that, putting in frankly, matter to every single one of us design products, services and organisations.
So, here it is!
As always, reach out if you wanna dive deeper.
