About this programme

What goes around comes around. Karma is real and it’s going to be with your company from day one. You have to build your company on ethically sound foundations. A diamond in the rough will be noticed by investors and customers alike in a sea of unethical monetary driven start-ups. Doing the right thing is not just correct but required for successful start-ups.

Weaving threads of ethic into the fabric of your company might be tricky. It may sound easy to some people but doing it right requires that you fully understand ethical concepts and how the right ethical solution can disguise itself in different situations. This course will teach you how to recognize what’s ethical, drawing upon real life examples.

Not always bad people do wrong things in business. Often good people do wrong things. Wrong behaviour results in a loss. Individuals and the companies lose face and are damaged due to unethical practices. In order not to lose millions of dollars, good people in organizations should know how to act ethically.

At the end of this course you will have learnt the skills to be able to institute necessary checkpoints, processes and controls to make your start-up ethically correct thus making it attractive to investors and earn customer’s trust from day one.
