Using real case studies, including Steinhoff, Tongaat, Transnet, Eskom and Zondo Commission insights, this course will unpack the ethical risks facing modern professionals and provides practical tools to manage them.
The course will include a survey into King V’s updated governance expectations, the latest professional ethics requirements (including NOCLAR), psychological drivers behind unethical behaviour, and practical frameworks for ethical decision-making. The session will also include applied scenarios, a structured ethics toolkit, and a review of emerging risks (AI, data governance, whistleblowing) to equip professionals to lead ethically, build trustworthy organisations, and make principled decisions - even under pressure.
This course is designed for professionals who operate in high-integrity roles.
