1.5 - 2.0 CPE A code of conduct is a vital organizational document. Breaches of ethics can land companies in serious trouble with consumers, other organizations or government authorities. Creating a code of conduct makes decision making easier at all levels of an organization. It reduces ambiguity and considerations of individual perspectives in ethical standards.
Code of conduct examples are easily found by searching the web. They extend from organization codes to professional codes. The biggest mistake any corporation can make is to replicate someone else’s code. These are the exact reasons we spent time going over the History of Ethics and the Psychology Behind Ethics.
A strong code of conduct must be established with the specific organization or profession in mind. Enron’s code of conduct is often touted as a strongly written code. How much good did it do them?
This course focuses on important concepts professionals should know and understand about codes of conduct.

This course provided an excellent, comprehensive overview of the vital role that a Code of Conduct plays in an organization. I particularly enjoyed the dialogue around model codes in different industries as these examples were insightful and thought provoking. The instructor presented content in an easy-to-follow manner, and included well-documented supporting materials to reiterate key concepts.

I feel the need to advise my organization's management of the need to revisit and revise our Code of Business Conduct. I feel this course gave me a better appreciation for the complexity of that task and good ideas on how to tackle it. I especially appreciate Lynn's advice to work as a cross-functional team in order to make sure that the CoC can be owned by everyone.

First half of the course is a bit slow and obvious for those who have some experience in this area. But the 2nd half is really interesting, especially the slides on developing/personalizing the code of conduct. This is the first time I see a clear and thought out guidance on the matter. Thanks!

A lot of the material is fairly obvious and the class proceeded slowly, but it was easy to follow. The instructor's communication skills are not great. Her criticism of some examples did not make sense. Overall the course was decent and informative.
