Topic: Professional Ethics: A Preventive Maintenance Approach

Presented by: Christopher Bauer, PhD, CSP, CFS

Tuesday, November 17, 2015
Alliant Energy Center
Madison, WI




Presentation Description

This won’t be a review of the ethics code, case studies, or case law! Instead, it will be a unique program designed to help assure that you and your entire organization are able to more easily “walk the talk” of great ethics. This often-humorous and highly interactive program will show us ethics risks we never even knew we had and what can be done right now to make sure those risks don’t turn into costly ethical and legal problems on the job. You will also learn how even a slightly changed focus on ethics can significantly build your organization’s bottom line.

Ethics and fun aren’t words you normally hear in the same sentence. However, Dr. Christopher Bauer has been making professional ethics both straightforward and fun for international audiences for more than 25 years. He will present ethics differently than you have probably ever experienced them before. The tone will be conversational and the ideas immediately applicable. You will leave with easy, practical ideas and tools to reduce your risk for ethics difficulties while simultaneously reducing the risk of your colleagues, coworkers and entire organizations.

Dr. Bauer publishes a “Weekly Ethics Thought” which is available at no charge through his website (www.BauerEthicsSeminars.com) and the latest of his book, “Better Ethics NOW: How to Avoid the Ethics Disaster You Never Saw Coming” has been a business ethics “Top Seller” on Amazon.com.

Participants will learn:
 

  1. Identify at least four common but often unseen or ignored ‘red flags’ for costly ethics risks in themselves, others, and their organizations.
     
  2. Identify a minimum of two previously unseen personal risk factors for ethics lapses, be able to reduce the potential negative impact of those risks, and be capable of effectively monitoring for further risks over time.
     
  3. Articulate the financial and strategic value of well-developed and effectively implemented ethics and values training in their organization. Being able to do so will help attendees position themselves as both credible and pivotal resources in the development and implementation of those programs should they choose.
