Understanding Human Capabilities and Limitations: An Essential Ingredient For Ethical Management
A thorough understanding of what people can and cannot do is vital to ethically manage a business, school, government or not for profit agency.
Understanding Human Capabilities and Limitations develops that understanding through interactive activities which illustrate the human capabilities and limitations followed by a discussion of whether it would be ethical or unethical to ignore the concept discussed in:
.designing products
.managing employees
.promoting products
.working with our customers.
Participants will remember more from Understanding Human Capabilities and Limitations than from a traditional lecture and they will have more fun than at a typical party!!!

Jennifer, we have hidden a special prize for you which is worth
more than a dollar. The prize says Congratulations right on it.
Your job is to describe the prize and tell us where it is located
without removing your blindfold. You may ask any Yes or No
questions which you like. The audience will answer them
accurately. You may also move around the room and feel for it.
Good luck and have fun!!!
