Sensitivity to ethics risks will promote a strong, values-focused ethos in your organisation. This can attract the best people to your team, enhance morale and productivity, and inspire dedication and creativity.
To understand what impact a product (service, technology, etc.) will have, it is necessary to consider many contextual factors. Contexts are complex, dynamic, and multi-dimensional: therefore our analysis of a product’s impact – based on our proprietary methodology, ARMADA – is complex, dynamic, and multi-dimensional too. From this complexity we distil a core of simplicity: actionable recommendations, tailored to the specific needs and organisational capacities of our clients.
Businesses increasingly recognise that responsible innovation and respect for people’s rights (especially concerning data) are not constraints but opportunities for product differentiation. Our Ethical Impact Assessments give you the insight to be able to maximise societal acceptability, affording you a competitive advantage in your marketplace.
Impact assessments for privacy and data protection are increasingly required by law. Ethical Impact Assessment meets those requirements, but goes much further, affording deeper insights into your product’s (project’s, etc.) impact.
Ethical Impact Assessment allows early identification of risks, but also of opportunities. By mapping the impact of your, business, technology, or innovation on key stakeholders, you can match their interests by default, by design, and in advance – avoiding costs associated with false starts and remedial actions.
