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.

Was unsere Studenten sagen
"Digitale Ethik und Nachhaltigkeit in Verbindung mit dem Kurs Value-based Engineering sind für jedes Unternehmen, das seine KI und digitalen Entwicklungen nicht dem Zufall überlassen will, unerlässlich. Der Ansatz von "Ethics by Design durch Value-based Engineering ist eine großartige Grundlage für jedes Team, das innovativ sein will und bessere Systeme bauen möchte. Die Teilnahme an diesen Kursen hat meine mein Wissen mit modernsten Grundlagen auf höchstem Niveau ergänzt und mir eine stabile Methodik an die Hand gegeben, mit der ich meine Kunden bei ihren Ex-ante-Design- und Entwicklungsbedürfnissen unterstützen kann, um bessere KI- und digitale Produkte zu entwickeln, die für die Regulierung geeignet sind und dem Wohl der Menschheit dienen.
"IT und KI mit Werten in Einklang bringen? Ein hochaktuelles Thema. Die vom Team der VBE-Akademie angebotene Schulung zum Value-based Engineering bietet eine faszinierende Kombination aus einem philosophischen Ansatz zu Werten und einer sehr praktischen Umsetzung in der Systemgestaltung. Anhand vieler Beispiele wird veranschaulicht, wie der gesamte Prozess funktioniert. Prof. Spiekermann präsentiert die Themen auf eine sehr ansprechende und sympathische Art. Abgerundet wird das Training durch eine gute Betreuung durch Coaches. Ich kann den VBE-Lehrgang jedem, der sich mit Ethik in der IT-Welt beschäftigt, nur wärmstens empfehlen.
