VBE is an Award-Winning Approach
Value-based Engineering (VBE) is standardized in ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000 Model Process for Addressing Ethical Concerns During System Design.
It is a highly practical, tested and certifiable approach to human-centered engineering. It makes organizations aware of the human and social challenges but also supreme innovation opportunities inherent in their IT systems. It is a successor of Value Sensitive Design and provides tangible substance to those who commit to Corporate Digital Responsibility (CDR).
VBE provides a structured and transparent way to translate value principles into IT system requirements ensuring that product management and technical units collaborate towards stakeholder value, minimal risk and legal compliance.

Many readers might still be new to VBE and also to Digital Ethics. The question of how the world ought (not) to be and how we translate that into IT-Systems is fascinating and yet complex.
To support your learning journey, we have prepared a video resource list covering various aspects of Value-based Engineering and Digital Ethics.
VBE in Practice
The VBE Academy’s knowledge on AI cases and ethical IT is based on 10 years of research and case studies, leadership in the ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000 project and many company partner experiences. This knowledge has also been published in highly renown scientific outlets as well as practitioner publications.
