Note to Customers: When choosing a package, consider your current level of ethical understanding and your aspirations in ethical decision-making.

Ethical Decsion Maker's Constituent Course:

• Ethical Lens Inventory: A personal assessment tool that delves into the values influencing decision-making processes. It reveals how individuals prioritise values in ethical situations, aiming to minimise conflict and enhance decision-making with integrity. The ELI uses 36 pairs of statements to identify a person's primary ethical lens, offering insights into their decision-making priorities, whether they focus on outcomes, duties, community relationships, or character.
• Hot Topic Simulations: Engaging simulations that present participants with real-life ethical dilemmas, from investor fraud to false advertising. These scenarios teach ethical principles, stakeholder theory, and the Baird Decision Model, challenging students to defend their decisions and articulate their ethical values through comprehensive assignments.

Methodology and Learning Outcomes: Participants first explore their ethical predispositions through the ELI before applying their insights to the Hot Topic Simulations. This hands-on approach encourages the application of ethical theories to real-world dilemmas, enhancing critical thinking, stakeholder consideration, and ethical communication skills.

Evaluation and Goals: The Toolkit aims to develop well-rounded ethical decision-makers capable of recognizing ethical dilemmas, analyzing options, and communicating solutions effectively. The self-grading assignments and performance data support learning outcomes focused on perspective-taking, stakeholder impact analysis, and decision-making articulation.
