Virtues and principles to explore
Held as inquiry, not as a verdict.
Service
Hope
Who is served and who benefits are not always the same.
Dignity
Center principle
Every person is a protagonist, not a data point.
Listening
Trust
Listen to understand, rather than listen to speak.
Starter questions
Written to probe curiosity and learning, not accusation.
- 01Who is served by addressing this, and who benefits if we leave it unnamed?
- 02Whose experience of Triage algorithm bias is not yet in the room — and how would we hear it?
- 03What is already being done about this, and by whom — and how would we find out without assuming?
- 04What conversation have we not yet had about this — and who needs to be in it?
