Manhattan-based business ethicist to speak March 6-7

“The challenges in business have never been greater. War, terrorist threats, struggling economies, sagging markets and the collapse of air travel, advertising and other sectors, have produced an anxious and chaotic environment. Since September 11, 2001, our uncompromising focus on ‘faster, cheaper, better’ and ‘lean, fast and flexible” is being replaced by a new conversation in the workplace about human priorities and the relationship between business and its stakeholders. If there was ever a moment pregnant with possibilities, it is now.” –Keith Darcy

Business ethicist Keith Darcy—the Executive Vice President and Director of Professional Services at IBJ Whitehall—will visit the Center for Ethics March 6-7 to share ethical reflections on business’ response to the World Trade Center bombing. Darcy works yards from Ground Zero.

Darcy also teaches business ethics at the Wharton School of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania and previously served in the administration of the McDonough School of Business at Georgetown University. He is affiliated with the Caux Round Table, a group of world business leaders concerned with the role and responsibilities of business in society.

Further details of Darcy’s visit will be posted on the Center for Ethics’ website and listserv as they become available.
