12/14/2022: LIVE INTERACTIVE WEBINAR, Ethics and Liability - The Unintended Consequences - Second Repeat Presentation, Thursday, December 14, 2022, 12:00 pm-1:00 pm Eastern
This is a live, repeat presentation of a webinar that was originally offered on 08/25/2022 and 12/14/2022. Attendees of the previously offered presentations, RV-W082522 and RV-W121422, will not receive CEU for attending the 05/04/2023 presentation.
The design and use of products and services have always involved ethical considerations when evaluating liability risks. However, these considerations and risks are becoming more important and nuanced as the world becomes a smaller place and the need for differentiation and speed to market becomes more important. These changes have positively affected choices, but at the same time have increased liability risks and ethical considerations. Combined together, it is becoming increasingly important for designers and users to understand how products and services are used, where they are used, and by whom they are used. The consequences of having an incomplete picture can not only impact designers and users, but can also affect the safety and well-being of all stakeholders, especially the public.

Students will have the ability to directly interact with and ask questions of the presenter.
Define values, norms, morals, and ethics using existing definitions in order to evaluate liability and ethical considerations relating to product and service development and use.
Identify primary, secondary, and tertiary stakeholders to evaluate how a product or service is intended to be used, how it actually may be used, who might be impacted by the product or service, and resulting design consideration (including marketing, sales, instructions, and labels).
Identify cultural difference that affect how liability and ethics are interpreted, and determine which products or services are suitable for specific cultures based on risk assessment.
Anticipate unintended consequences and identify associated risks with regard to liability and ethical decision making.
Assess consequences for those stakeholders who might not come into direct contact with a product or service from a liability and ethical perspective in order to evaluate risks and viability.
