This Facilitation Friday will be an experiment in radically inclusive and hopeful decisions for products, services and solutions.

Equitable and ethical design principles should guide our everyday decisions, but they can get very lofty and aspirational fast. Please join us in this experiment to review and edit an ever-evolving set of decision-making principles together. We will then apply them to retrospectively course-correct early decisions at two companies that started with very good missions but famously grew to become ethical sh*tshows
