Dilemma Postcards: Ethics Tools

Report

‘‘Dilemma Postcards’’ are communicative tools that will allow pactitioners to easily express, share, and resolve the dilemmas they face in their everyday practice through stories.

According to the A.E.I.O.yoU model (part of a bigger toolkit), this activity seeks to describe and create awareness of ethical dilemmas and tensions faced by practitioners (Individual, yoU), as they perceive others (O) and during interactions (I) among the practitioners, at the practitioner level.

STEPS

  • Familiarize yourself with Ethical Dilemmas/Tensions cards (on the other sheet/board).

  • Identify Ethical Dilemma/Tensions based on your everyday work. You can also add your own ethical dilemmas to the list.

  • Recollect a situation in your everyday practice where you might have faced, might face, and/or facing these dilemmas or tensions.

  • Write to share your story. Think about who you want to share this with- CEO, teammate, manager, novice practitioners, etc. You can write it anonymously per choice.

  • Post the card to “Whomsoever concerned”. You can also make this a team practice to position a Dilemma Post-Box and refer to what is happening in your teams to build ethical products.
