Not long ago, knowing the ethics of right from wrong at work was simple: DonŐt steal office supplies, donŐt pad your expenses, and try and stay sober at the holiday party.
Times have changed, and the work place is now globally connected and accessible 24x7. In the vast realm of Information Technology (IT), an ethically "wrong" decision can be the corporate equivalent of splitting the atom--a small, seemingly isolated event that causes a devastating impact on a grand scale. When applied to IT, the issue of ethics can no longer be relegated to the back of the employee manual. Highly acclaimed trainer, speaker, and author Stephen Northcutt provides a detailed blueprint on how to first identify, and then resolve, issues of ethics within the enterprise.
