He also notes that it can be difficult to integrate all of these different approaches into an evaluation.Dr. Pearson spoke with us between his presentations on this topic on June 16, 2014, at the HTAi 11th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.Video URL http://youtu.be/eLxbHBpilJQPublished on Aug 24, 2012How can Dr. Bruce Weinstein, The Ethics Guy, benefit your organization?Watch these excerpts from his keynote speech, “Ethical Intelligence.”
