Our people:
Suzanne (Suzi) Ross MAPsS
Consulting Fellow
Suzanne is a trained teacher, psychologist and a socio-analyst.
Prior to joining the Centre in 1997, Suzanne’s career involved university lecturing and managing her own business – a consulting and counselling practice. During this time her consultancies ranged from investigating occupational stress within an airline during the pilots’ strike, professional development of prison governors, a culture analysis with a large accounting firm, evaluation of a juvenile justice program and organisational role analysis with executives.
Suzanne designs and directs many of our major consulting projects in the areas of organisational diagnosis - for example, our Organisational Character and Culture Analysis, in facilitating the development of ethical frameworks where professions, businesses and universities are reviewing or developing their policies and codes. She designs and analyses many of the surveys which are used for organisations to explore such ethical aspect as gaps between their lived and espoused ethics and typical ethical dilemmas and decision-making responses.
In the learning and development training area Suzanne specialises in developing institution wide workshops in areas of ethical awareness, ethical intelligence and good decision-making.
Suzanne has created training programs for ethics officers in organisations and has trained counsellors for BHP Billiton’s Global Ethics Helpline. She is also involved in the Centre’s Leadership Development program and Suzanne designed and implemented St James Ethics Centre’s ethics evaluation for the Reputation Index in 2001.
Suzanne set up the Centre’s counselling service and continues to train and supervise our ethics counsellors. The Ethics Counselling Service is unique worldwide and highly respected by our peers in the UK and USA.
Suzanne is the author of the Centre’s Holistic Model of Ethics, their Ethical Decision-Making Model and the Requisites for a Sound Ethical Culture framework.
Formerly the Director of Consulting, Counselling and Training, now Consulting Fellow to the Centre, Suzanne’s present focus is designing and delivering accreditation programs in our major training and consulting programs and services as well as the training and supervision of our ethics counsellors.
