Creating and leading an ethical, data-driven organization requires a cultural shift within the organization. This shift can be achieved through leadership buy-in, adequate resourcing, and training. It is crucial to involve employees in the process through forums and incentive programs to ensure continuous involvement beyond just the leadership and organization.
To maintain an ethical culture, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the ethical policies and procedures within the organization. This includes developing strategies for leading an applied ethics initiative, emphasizing its importance, and fostering an ethical organizational culture.
The fifth course in the CertNexus Certified Ethical Emerging Technologist professional certificate (CEET) focuses on teaching learners how to develop these strategies. They will also learn how to create and implement ethical organizational policies, including a code of conduct. Additionally, learners will gain skills in assessing the effectiveness of these policies with internal and external stakeholders.

The other courses in the series cover topics such as promoting the ethical use of data-driven technologies, turning ethical frameworks into actionable steps, detecting and mitigating ethical risks, and effectively communicating about ethical challenges in data-driven technologies.
In summary, this course equips learners with the knowledge and skills needed to lead an ethical, data-driven organization. Through understanding ethical policies, developing strategies, and implementing effective policies, learners will be able to create an organizational culture that prioritizes ethics in the use of data-driven technologies.
