We had an eclectic combination of readings assigned this week. One of the important topics covered was the
idea of ethics in technology innovation. This week’s discussion question relates to that.
Take a close look at the “Ethics Canvas” below, which is a powerful way of focusing on issues, stakeholders,
processes, and inter-relationships among several variables connected with evaluating ethical issues relating to
an innovation project.
While all the boxes in this chart are important, different individuals may have different ideas as to where they
would like to initially focus on.
If you were in charge of implementing an innovation project in your organization, which “one” box within the
ethics canvas chart would you focus on, first? Why?
