IEEE-PSES Chicago Chapter Meeting and Presentation: Ethics in Engineering, Making Right Choices
A lively, stimulating, and interactive real life regulatory compliance reenactment highlighting new product release ethics vs. legal challenges and tradeoffs from a compliance manager’s perspective working in a product development/OEM environment.
A 100% fact-based reenactment simulation pulling in audience interaction to identify common sense compliance influenced “gut checks”.
Take-away will help engineers and managers work through and influence expected ethics vs. legally driven choices, balances and conflicts when faced with critical revenue driven product release commitments having serious regulatory and compliance consequences potentially tarnishing a company’s reputation.
What makes this presentation so unique is the audience “what would you do” scenarios teed up throughout the presentation, reenacting this true event faced by the speaker in his early career. The interactive session reflects all facts and “what-if’s” confronted during this event, concluding with an interesting approach to managing one’s career in a compliance/safety leadership role for our emerging leaders of the future.
