Good intentions don’t always lead to ethical actions. To close the intent to action gap, we need an approach to ethics that is embodied, contextual, and a living system within the organisation.
Explore our vision for how ETHOS might evolve to close the ethical to action gap in your organisation.
Don’t let deadlines, compromises, and tradeoffs get in the way of your team’s good intentions.
Whether you have waterfalls, sprints, scrums, huddles or cuddles, ETHOS will help you grow responsible products your way.
With the right nutrients, ETHOS will grow into a workflow-agnostic suite of practical ethics products that adapts to your needs.
ETHOS is the Ethical Tension and Health Operating Systemfor your organisation. It will integrate with your existing product stack:​
For every issue you create, ETHOS for Jira will connect your principles and pledges directly to the features you build.
Beyond pushing pixels, ETHOS for Figma will embed your ethical principles and pledges into the structure of your design system.
Amidst everyday discussions, ETHOS for Slack will capture the context of ideas, intentions and interactions, assessing your real-time ethical tension and health.
In today's meeting space, ETHOS for Zoom will focus your efforts toward existing and emerging pledges. Helping your team keep aligned to what you care about.
Dashboards are boring and forgettable. With ETHOS, the values, principles, or pledges your team decides to plant together will turn into a living ETHOS Garden.
You will nurture your ETHOS Garden by practising Elemental Ethics skills within ETHOS-enabled apps. The Garden will be a place that grows with your team, dynamically reacts to emerging tensions, and is a mirror of how healthy your responsible practice is.
Connected together, ETHOS Gardens form a network that reflects the ethical health & tensions of the entire organisation.
As a conversational assistant, Zorya will help your team uncover hidden assumptions and both individual and collective ethos, so you can better nurture your responsible practice.
Zorya will play the role of your ethical guide by actively listening and asking guiding questions that help the team uncover what might otherwise remain in the shadows.
Rather than making decisions for your team, Zorya empowers individuals to shape and nurture the team’s ETHOS.
Bye bye boring and burdensome. Hello ethics that makes you and your colleagues smile, learn and grow together.
Ethics is better when we do it together. ETHOS enhances the participatory nature of moral imagination today so that you can build better tech for tomorrow.
Integrate and embed ethics into your everyday tools, workflows and practices. By doing this you can nurture the values you’ve planted and benefit from the fruits of your labour.
ETHOS lives and breathes with you, enabling your team to do more of what you, together, believe to be ‘good’ and ‘right’.
Clearly, ETHOS is an ambitious goal that we will not be able to reach alone – nor would we want to do this alone without engaging in codesign.​
However, if the idea excites you, we invite you to explore how we currently see ETHOS growing from its seedling app form into a thriving ethics forest and an actual ethical operating system for your organisation.
ETHOS, your responsible tech journey companion, has been replanted and now invites you to explore intents, take a moment for reflection, and gaze into Tethix Mirrors.
We have a big vision for ETHOS, the Ethical Tension and Health Operating System. We're now starting this journey with a seedling app that can help you cultivate a daily reflective practice.
How will your day-to-day practice change if your organization decides to embrace responsible firekeeping and install the Tethix ETHOS app?
We’re still looking for nutrients ETHOS needs to grow to its full size.
