Value-Based Engineering (VBE) Workshop

Design technology that respects human and social values — not just profit and efficiency

Our VBE Training equips your teams to embed ethics into system design using Prof. Dr. Sarah Spiekermann’s Value-Based Engineering approach and the ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000:2022 standard. 

Participants learn how to turn abstract values like dignity, fairness, and wellbeing into concrete design features and Ethical Value Requirements, ensuring your projects are ethically aligned from the start. 

Why VBE Matters

Today, many digital products prioritize speed, cost, and growth — often at the expense of trust and wellbeing. 

VBE offers a better way:

  • Focus on human and social wellbeing, not just short-term profit. 
  • Reduce risks and future costs through early value and risk analysis. 
  • Build trust, acceptance, and legitimacy for your products and services.

  • Understand VBE and ISO/IEC/IEEE 24748-7000:2022
  • Identify values and value risks in real projects. 
  • Translate values into actionable requirements and design options. 
  • Foster a culture of care that supports compliance and real value creation.
