CASE STUDIES IN WORKSHOPS (120-180 MINUTES)
In digital live or IRL format, sharing and discussing practical and relevant case studies. It’s not enough to understand the concepts of human behavior on an intellectual level but it is also necessary to use this knowledge practically. Using a case study to share methodology and discuss why. Taking the concept of using your knowledge practically to the next level. Practicing learnings and using the tools provided.
Case Studies in Workshops
The idea that bad things are done by bad people does not explain unethical decisions and misconduct in organizations. Corporate misconduct would not be possible, if it weren’t for the participation of people like you and me.
Misconduct rarely happens because we don’t understand the law – we overestimate the importance of topical knowledge and underestimate the importance of understanding human behavior and interaction.
We overestimate our ethicality. In strong contexts, we get blinded. We switch off or distort reason. We may behave unethically, but we cannot see it, or we rationalize it away. We frame the problem to fit the solution. We make the wrong choice. We look the other way. We keep our heads down.
Business is not a neutral environment, we all face pressure and if not actively balanced with awareness of human behavior and a strong culture of integrity and business ethics, people can be at risk of slipping into poor behaviors.
In these workshops we take a deeper look at actual cases of organizational and personal misconduct and failures. Discussing and trying to understand why good people made bad choices. Who were the people involved, what did they do and why? Could they have done things differently and what would that have taken? What can we learn and take with us?

Trust, at every level of business and society, has never mattered so much and at the same time, leaders at every level and in every institution face very low levels of trust from important stakeholders. Sandra helps us understand what trust is, how to build, keep and regain lost trust.
