Figuring out what’s broken.
Most ethics and governance training gives people a framework and sends them back to the same environment that produced the problem. The decisions don't change because the knowledge hasn't changed how anyone decides.
Develop sessions are working sessions, not awareness sessions. Participants leave with a clearer understanding of what responsible governance requires — and with something specific they can do differently the next day. The measure of a good workshop is not what people know when they leave. It's what they do.
Who this is for
Leadership teams navigating AI adoption who need to make defensible decisions without a philosophy degree
Boards seeking to fulfil governance obligations on AI and ESG with real substance, not checkbox compliance
People and HR teams designing or auditing talent processes for equity
Product and engineering teams building AI-enabled products who need to understand the ethical stakes of their design choices
Organisations rolling out AI tools who want managers equipped to think critically about risk, not just optimise for efficiency
Programmes
All programmes are custom-designed. Session formats, depth, and focus are shaped by the organisation's size, sector, maturity, and specific context. The topics below indicate core areas of expertise.
Making defensible decisions about AI
Designed for leadership teams, boards, and senior managers. Covers the ethical stakes of AI adoption, the governance structures that make accountability real, how to ask the right questions of technical teams, and how to communicate AI commitments credibly to stakeholders. Available as a half-day, full-day, or multi-session programme. Can be tailored to specific sectors including financial services, healthcare, and professional services.
Understanding how systems produce outcomes — and how to change them
A foundational programme for teams responsible for designing or operating people systems, products, or processes. Covers structural analysis, equity measurement, and the practical mechanics of redesigning systems for more equitable outcomes. Draws on the Balanced Teams methodology developed at Atlassian. Available as a half-day or full-day session, with optional follow-up advisory.
For when the answer isn't obvious
A working session grounded in applied ethics and real organisational scenarios. Participants develop a personal ethical framework and practise applying it to genuine dilemmas — the kind where reasonable people disagree and there's no obviously right answer. Based on The Ethics Centre's methodology. Particularly effective for senior leadership teams and boards. Available as a half-day intensive.
Built for your organisation's specific context

Includes pre-session scoping, facilitated delivery, and a post-session summary of key insights and next steps.
