What it is I actually do, actually

Been doing a lot of introspection / abyss-gazing about what it is I do these days, and how I communicate it to others. Here’s where I’ve ended up. I’d love to know if these scenarios resonate with others.

If you’re a product, design, or engineering leader, you might feel the rise of tech ethics has made life even more complicated.

Your employees and job candidates are asking tough questions about your company’s impact on the world. You’re learning it’s not enough to just mean well: you need expert guidance on what ethics and responsibility should mean for your team.

You’ve seen toxic tech firms make ethical mistakes that harm the entire sector. You won’t let that happen to your team. So you need to understand the unintended harms your work could do, and reduce risks before they happen.

Perhaps your C-suite has made bold pledges of a sustainable, ethical, responsible future. Sounds great, but now it’s on you to make it happen. Where do you start? Your company’s CSR or ESG initiatives seem somewhat distant; it’s not clear how technology teams on the ground can align with these efforts.

So here’s my new pitch, my new value proposition if you like. I help tech teams build more responsible, ethical products. And I do that through a mix of design, training, speaking, and consulting. I’ve finally rebuilt my website to round all this up neatly and tightly: cennydd.com.

I have some availability from May, so if you’re a product, design, or engineering leader and this strikes a chord, let’s chat. (If you’re not one of those people, please feel free to share with someone who is. Thanks!)
