Our Mission
We guide individuals, organizations, and communities in building resilience, trust, connection, and confidence through ethical decision-making.
What Guides Us
I believe ethical decision-making is the essential ingredient for trust, connection, confidence, and loyalty—of customers, employees, investors, regulators, the public, the media, and our families and friends. Ethics is also the critical core of resilience—for you, for those in your life, for your organization, and for society.
Our unique approach, 20/20 foresight, helps clients make decisions that they and others will like and respect irrespective of the outcome— after five minutes, five weeks, five years, and 50 years. 20/20 foresight guides leaders and individuals from all walks of life in making the best decisions for themselves and their organizations amidst today’s high speed change and unprecedented unpredictability.
Our pro-business and pro-innovation approach targets resilient and inspiring decision-making not guaranteed outcomes.
“ethical decision-making not in a nebulous philosophical space, but at the point where the rubber meets the road”
–Michael Schur, producer and creator of The Good Place
It’s not your imagination: we’re living in a time of dizzying change, significant and unpredictable challenges, and decline of values. Technology has destabilized the role of governments in protecting the welfare of their constituents. The balance between corporate power and profit-seeking and responsible innovation (even when life-saving and human-rights affirming) is at stake. Personally, we may be conflicted about how to make informed choices for technology, how to handle misconduct we witness at work and in our communities, and how we handle issues of internet and data privacy.
In The Power of Ethics, Susan Liautaud offers a look at how ethics can be used to create a sea change of positive decisions that can ripple outward to our families, communities, workplaces, and the wider world—offering an unprecedented opportunity for good.
The Power of Ethics is the foundation for defining your values and increasing resilience for yourself and your organization.
