Cheap, Easy, Effective: A Different Kind of Education Tool

The Ethics Resource Center has a cool twist on the usual e-update to stakeholders: a regular series of e-mailed PowerPoint charts or graphics on specific topics titled EthicsStat.

This week’s subject is on “Global Reporting” and shares data in an easy-to-absorb color chart on reported employee misconduct in various countries, urging leaders to “keep their fingers on the global pulses of their organizations.”

Considering that many people learn best through visual representations of data rather than straight narrative, this appears to be a smart, unique approach that would work well for many organizations that regularly share research or trends info with stakeholders.

Thank you for posting about this, Kristin! I think EthicsStat is a great PR tool, too--speaking as an editor, it's nice to find interesting hooks like this that could either work as a short article or as an addition to a longer related story. And the stats are presented in an easily usable format, too. I bet a lot of associations could find similar ways to share bite-sized pieces of their own research!
