Where marks usually go

  • Over-writing ‘It is said that for an ethical work culture, there must be code of ethics in place in…’ while reducing ‘what suitable measures would you adopt in your work place’ to a token paragraph
  • Naming values without testing each feasible option for legality, affected stakeholders, consequences, implementation risk and reversibility

Value addition

  • Ethical Work Culture: stakeholder map beside a 4-column option matrix — option | legality/ethics | consequences | mitigation
    → Draw it in the body, next to the point it supports.
