Engineering with Values

Value-based Engineering (VBE) is a certifiable, human-centered approach to ethical system design – standardized in ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000. It helps organizations turn values into system requirements and align innovation with social responsibility.

Join our Training Program

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.
