2023 BES: Developing and Implementing an Ethics Strategy for Professional Consulting Firms ($0.00 Member/$49.00 Non-member)

2023 BES Session: Developing and Implementing an Ethics Strategy for Professional Consulting Firms

This session was originally presented at the 2023 IIBEC Building Enclosure Symposium.

Description
Ethics often is only addressed reactively within companies, either after a problem has occurred or in an ad hoc way. Reactionary ethics is often costly, resulting in potential loss of business and/or reputation as well as penalties and fines. Alternately, action is required within organizations striving to ensure a sound ethical culture. This action requires dedication and hard work to ensure the ethical policy is formulated wisely, instituted appropriately, and maintained throughout the life cycle of the business. This session will present examples of ethical policies that have added to a positive company culture and have contributed greatly to many companies’ success stories.
