Responsible Tech

Responsible innovation for your practice

The current situation regarding the Corona crisis requires many organisations to work in a different way. This also applies to ourselves. Fortunately, thanks to our adequate digital infrastructure, we are still perfectly able to support you with our services, albeit remotely. Do you have questions about our services in these times? Do not hesitate to contact us. We are available every day.

Innovation is essential to continue to stay competitive or to tackle the societal challenges of our time. The growing role of digital technology within your organization creates greater interests, new expectations and critical stakeholders.

The importance and impact of digital technology means that attention to legal, ethical and societal aspects is indispensable for successful innovations. The growing attention in the media and policymakers demonstrates this.

Questions about responsible innovation can increasingly be heard in the workplace:

What (future) laws and regulations apply to our innovation?
Does our innovation align with our mission and vision?
AI discriminates, right? (We're not going to use that!)
What is the impact of our innovation on our environment?
Why are they always so difficult at "that department"?
Everything we do is misunderstood! How are we going to communicate about this new project?
