The challenge
What this programme addresses
Ethics failures rarely come from an absence of policy. They come from pressure, ambiguity and incentives. This programme works on the judgement itself: how managers reason when the right answer is genuinely contested.
Audience
Who it is for
- MBA, EMBA and professional masters cohorts
- Senior managers and governance-facing roles
- Compliance, risk and leadership development groups
Outcomes
What participants can do afterwards
- 01

Recognise the organisational conditions that produce ethical failure
- 03
Justify a decision publicly, including its costs
- 04
Design decision processes that surface ethical risk earlier

Evidence & examples
Where this has been delivered
Ethics, governance and responsible leadership have formed part of Dr Levermore's postgraduate and executive teaching at CUHK Business School, HKUST Business School and the Asian Institute of Technology. Full programme detail is in preparation.
“I really appreciated how he used real case studies on ethics and compliance because they made the lessons practical and easier to understand. He always encouraged us to think critically and explain the reasons behind our decisions.”
