EPISODE 29: “THE DILEMMA GAME”:UNLEASHING THE POWER OF ETHICS AND GOOD CYBERSECURITY THROUGH PLAY

We are joined again by Dr Bettina Palazzo a business ethics expert! She works with compliance managers to create a culture of integrity that focuses on the leadership and behavioural dimensions of compliance. In this episode, “The Dilemma Game”: Unleashing The Power of Ethics and Good Cybersecurity Through Play”, we delve into the complexities of power dynamics within organisations, exploring the efficacy of policies and the role of ethical standards in both corporate and personal settings. We question the effectiveness of merely adding regulations in response to ethical crises and stresses the importance of cultural context in shaping responsibilities towards cybersecurity. Then our discussion extends to the necessity of embracing local nuances while maintaining universal ethical standards, and the limits of systemic solutions in a diverse, evolving landscape. And finally, this episode also introduces the "dilemma game," an innovative approach to enhance understanding and application of policy texts through real-world scenarios, fostering a culture of integrity and psychological safety where open communication and trust are paramount. This thought-provoking episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of culture, ethics, and organisational behaviour.
