The VBE Ambassador Training
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.

"Aligning IT and AI with values. A highly topical subject. The Value Based Engineering training provided by the VBE Academy team provides a fascinating combination of a philosophical approach to values and very practical implementation in system design. Many examples are used to illustrate how the entire process works. Prof. Spiekermann presents the topics in a very engaging and likeable way.
