Values and Culture

Overview :: Values & Culture

The Department of Information Systems encourages and is committed to the development of a Questioning culture. This means:

• Everyone can ask and be asked questions
• Be willing to admit I don't know
• Go beyond allowing questions; encourage questions
• Help develop the skills needed to ask questions in a positive way
• Focus on asking empowering questions and avoid disempowering questions
• Emphasize the process of asking questions and searching for answers rather than finding the right answers
• Accept and reward risk taking
• Industry Involvement

As a Department we subscribe to UCT value's which can be found at http://www.uct.ac.za/downloads/uct.ac.za/about/policies/uctvalues.pdf

IS staff and students have access to a wealth of resources, including library, computer, internet and other on-line resources. We commit to using these assets and resources responsibly.
