About Us

Professional Services Source is continuing its tradition of providing quality, high impact ethics training programs utilizing the latest technologies and teaching techniques that stimulate life-long learning in an exciting and informative manner. Instead of providing clients with a list of "dos and don'ts", PSS provides clients with cutting-edge graphical self assessment tools and stimulating process oriented content focused on teaching the analytical skills and decision-making tools that enable individuals and organizations to thrive in a complex world of competing demands and goals.

Vision

At PSS it is our mission to enable ethical adeptness, to move beyond both compliance and application of principle to situation models of ethical reasoning. Given the widely recognized limitations and unforeseen negative consequences of compliance-oriented ethics, as well as the inertia created by principles in conflict, we at PSS have sought to create tools and methods for developing alternatives and enhancing personal decision-making power.

Although principle-based ethics programs outshine compliance-based ones in terms of facilitating personal responsibility and ethical effectiveness, some method for discerning which principles are of highest priority, and the specific nature of the appropriate application must accompany their use, if principles are to be optimally utilized. Moreover, the very meaning of culturally-defined ethical principles may come into question when their use is attempted in novel contexts. We at PSS therefore provide our clients with a number of ethical frameworks and criteria for choosing the most appropriate among them in any given situation. Depth, breadth, and dexterity are thus the hallmarks of the professional and personal development fostered by the programs available through PSS.
