Originally developed for the private security sector but broadly applicable across industries, our approach provides practical implementation strategies tailored to organizations of all sizes. Drawing from compelling real-world examples of technology failures that resulted in significant financial losses and reputational damage, we demonstrate how responsible technology practices not only mitigate risks but create measurable competitive advantages.
Attendees will gain actionable insights into addressing key challenges including data protection, algorithmic bias, surveillance ethics, and emerging technologies while enhancing their market position through increased client trust, regulatory compliance, and operational resilience. Join us to discover how ethical technology implementation can become your organization’s strategic differentiator in an increasingly scrutinized digital environment.
The presentation is followed by a networking aperitif.
