Ethics and integrity – Best practice based on scenarios
We will discuss responses to specific scenarios to see if we all agree on the best practice options. Every scenario provides a framework to discuss and hopefully agree on the “right” response. Sitting at our desks we sometimes do not foresee the repercussions of certain actions. Attendees may provide scenarios beforehand to include in the prepared scenarios. If there is time we can discuss other topics not included in the scenarios. This is an interactive session.
Examples: Two requests for a quote for the same text from two agencies or companies. / Using memory for competitor. / Competitor terminology. / Direct access to agency’s contact.
Integrity leads to long-term relationships!
