Ethical Conversations with Professor Melinda Edwards and Dr Mark Harvey

Whatever your position, navigating practical ethical dilemmas in the workplace can be challenging. There is no substitute for well-reasoned and practical ethical skills, but we rarely have the opportunity to explore and develop them.

Watch as Professor Melinda Edwards and Dr Mark Harvey demonstrate some common and often uncomfortable conversations, requiring essential Ethical Decision Making skills.

Scenario 1: Procurement Officer Dilemma

QUT’s Ethical Decision Making Program has been designed to help you explore how to promote ethical behavior and foster integrity in your own workplace.

Through interactive skills workshops, Melinda, Mark and Alistair will guide you through practical ethical scenarios, helping you to identify the flawed justifications often raised in support of unethical practices and some conversational strategies and skills to address them.
