Strengthen ethics

Co-create or take ownership of the company's ethics charter.

Why this programme

An ethics charter is upheld when people have understood it and, better still, when they have written it. The programme confronts teams with realistic dilemmas from your sector and leads them to put into their own words the principles that guide them.

Compliance starts at the top. It will be most effective in a corporate culture that emphasises standards of honesty and integrity and in which the board of directors and senior management lead by example.

What your teams experience

  1. The dilemma: faced with an ambiguous situation, the team makes a choice and justifies it.
  2. The charter in practice: work out which principle applies to which case.
  3. Our words: rewrite an article of the charter together, on screen.
  4. The vote: the room adopts the most accurate wording.

Each activity opens and closes with a projected cinematic sequence, personalised for your teams. The facilitator sets the pace: nothing moves forward without them.

What the company gains

An ethics charter that is understood and owned, enriched by the teams' own wording.

Before you book

What is digital team building?

A team building session in which teams play challenges on participants' phones while a big screen shows the running order, the scores and the cinematic sequences. A facilitator runs the room from start to finish. Everything happens in person.

Do we need to install an app?

No. Participants scan a QR code and play in their phone's browser. No account, no password, no installation. It works on iPhone and Android.

Is there a limit on the number of participants?

No. The platform adapts to your headcount, from a small team to the whole company, in one or several rooms.
