Practicing ethically in today's world can be equally challenging and rewarding. Based on interviews and case studies gathered from a variety of practices, this module will show how small and medium sized practices are responding to today's challenges positively and using ethical positions to improve many aspects of their practice. Although not widely discussed, such positions can play an important role in marketing, staff retention, diversity, wellbeing, cash flow, client relationships and environmental impact. This module will build upon the 2019 Core CPD, ‘Exploring Ethics in Practice’ and incorporate work from recent publications and papers as well as a series of specifically compiled case studies. These 12 case studies will be organised around the six duties of an architect, widely understood as a useful framework for ethical practice. Each featured practice will be consistently profiled with information presented on practice structure, practice size, management style and stated values. Having illustrated the benefits and challenges of ethical practice through real-life examples, the module will then provide viewers with a concise set of resources and toolkits to help them better navigate ethical dilemmas and conflicting priorities within their own practices. During the module the presenters will also share their own experiences of building and growing practices with ethical values as well as provide an update of the ongoing work taking place at the RIBA on ethical practice.
