Workshops for Ethics in Business

Workshops for Ethics in BusinessThe Carnegie Council's Workshops for Ethics in Business (WEB) is a one-of-a-kind forum that brings top corporations and NGOs together in a civilized setting to share innovative ideas for addressing ethical issues related to globalization.

Inspired by Booz & Company's concept of "mega communities," or multi-stakeholder engagement, and Georgetown professor Pietra Rivoli's notion that civilization advances through the positive interaction between civil society and business, the luncheon workshops aim to fill a vacuum in corporate training, business schools, and organizational leadership. To this end, the Carnegie Council is creating a series of accessible case studies in applied ethics.

Carnegie Council WorkshopThe goal is to provide examples of best practices that help address stubborn ethical problems that organizations face. The world's best companies have enjoyed success partly because their competitive management systems deal with these problems globally, while their less successful competitors have been dealing with them on an ad hoc basis. Meanwhile, internal change agents have expressed the need for outside pressure for corporate reform.

Carnegie Council WorkshopEach workshop produces podcasts, summaries, and lists of related organizations and biographies. Starting in the 2008 program year, the meetings will also yield videos of interviews for teaching and training. By presenting these resources to companies and business schools, the Council can help strengthen the ethical component of management systems, having a potentially dramatic positive impact on corporate reform. These workshops are open to the public, and attract an engaged and motivated audience of leaders of business, consulting, finance, governments, media, and NGOs.
