The Ethical IT Professional: An IITPSA Social and Ethics Committee Event

If you were never going to be caught out for unethical conduct, is there any reason to be ethical?

In this webinar session we will look closely at what ethics is, why it is important to businesses and professions, as well as discuss how ethics can be incorporated into the IT professional space. More importantly, how does the IITPSA Code of Ethics align ethical conduct and thinking, and how do we build our ethical competence as IT professionals? Join us in this robust discussion which aims to address these questions and build a new perspective on business and professional ethics.
