Christine also presents the NZPI’s Ethics for Planners workshop which is a compulsory workshop for those on the pathway to full membership and Full members are also required to refresh their CPD on Ethics every three years. Recently an alternative ethics review workshop, ‘Ethics and Digital Technologies‘ was also added (see date above) focused on the experienced Full member. In this workshop we look at the experienced planner’s ethical responsibilities through the lens of digital technology.
All these workshops are designed for the average planner and do not require prior knowledge of technology topics – see the ‘Who should attend?’ section in the course prospectus. There are 4 AI-related workshops so check the descriptions to help you choose the best workshop for your needs.
All the above workshop content is also available direct from RMA Digital in a variety of formats to suit your team e.g. monthly lunch and learn, regular micro course sessions. Get in touch to discuss how we can meet your requirements.
There has never been a better time to brush up on some of the modern technologies changing our ways of working.
