About this course

As organisations rely more heavily on data, digital platforms and emerging technologies, decisions about technology increasingly carry ethical and governance implications. Responsible digital practice requires people who can consider risk, accountability and the wider impact of digital choices.

Digital Business Ethics and Governance develops a foundation for thinking critically about responsible technology use in business. Learners explore ethical considerations, governance responsibilities and the principles that can guide sound decision-making in technology-enabled environments.

The course helps learners look beyond what technology can do and consider what organisations should do, supporting more responsible, sustainable and accountable digital practice.

This course is ideal for:

Individuals working in or moving towards digital, analytical or technology-enabled roles who want to strengthen their understanding of ethics, governance and responsible decision-making in digital business.
