How Do We Build Consumer and Investor Trust in Innovation?

Not everyone has confidence that innovation will only have a positive impact. Many end-users don’t trust innovators with their data. So how do we get them to start? The answer: the ability to demonstrate a commitment to ethics by design. In the Ethics for Innovators workshop, you’ll learn six key principles of digital data ethics. You’ll build a code of ethics that you can use to guide your current organization and to demonstrate commitment to corporate social responsibility. By integrating ethics awareness in the design and implementation of innovation, you’ll be trained in principles of ethics design that can minimize potential consumer backlash and demonstrate to investors that you have properly analyzed ethics risks. Don’t miss out on this free opportunity to earn your certificate in digital data ethics.
