As a social entrepreneur and a health care ethicist, Kate Michi Ettinger values a concrete, pragmatic approach to ethics. With SocEntEthics, Kate cross-pollinates her passions for innovation, social enterprise, systems-level analysis, and ethics into a synthesized approach for social enterprise ventures to express their values in their action.

Re-envisioning ethics in a proactive, integrated approach allows a SE to act with iterative process and moved beyond judgements of right-wrong/good-bad. The SocEntEthics Method asks tough questions and explores uncertain terrain while emphasizing ethical dilemas in their narrative, integrative, collaborative and empathic context.
A robust ethical underpinning is integral to the fabric of social enterprises. SocEntEthics aims to empower social enterprises with the tools, skills and resources to:
