Four Objectives

17 Intel Confidential Module 1: Introduction E & C Challenges

18 Intel Confidential 18 Learning Objectives After completing this module you will be able to: » Articulate current environmental pressures » Describe current Intel challenges and dilemmas » Understand how our principles can be used to navigate difficult ethical situations

19 Intel Confidential 19 “failed to take action or acted too slowly … …nobody took responsibility“ “operated in "silos,“… … no demonstrated sense of urgency” “mixed messages on priority of cost or safety… a reluctance to report problems up the chain”  “everyone nods in agreement to a plan of action….. but nobody does anything” GM

20 Intel Confidential 20  Transitioning leaders  Organizational transitions  Increased importance of an ethical reputation 2014: A critical juncture Increased need for velocity, risk taking, & urgency New businesses Acquisitions Expanding in new markets

21 Intel Confidential 21 “Have the ethics guardrails changed?“ “What if asking questions or sharing information jeopardizes the business or my job?” “I had to put my badge on the table” “You can’t follow up on warning signs and deliver business results – something has to give” “How can I ask questions about whether a decision has integrity? … I’m supposed to know” 21 Employee questions/quotes

22 Intel Confidential 22 Renee’s Dilemma Manager receives a suspect PO Sr. manager didn’t ignore, but “looked into it” Checked PO details and facts Reviewed with submitter Inconsistencies revealed- Escalates and seeks guidance Investigation culminates in termination

23 Intel Confidential 23 When it comes to values conflicts in the workplace … I often feel as if I don’t have a choice. I have often voiced my values effectively. I can think of times when I did not voice my values effectively. Questions for Consideration

24 Intel Confidential 24 Rationalizations It’s not a big deal This is the way it’s done It’s not my responsibility Loyalty

25 Intel Confidential 25 The Challenge We may not move forward when we could We may move forward when we shouldn’t Bad news can go underground We may create a perception of a lack of integrity We may not ‘sense’ or challenge early warning signs

26 Intel Confidential 26 When an action, although legal, may conflict with our values and culture When judging the optics When following policy risks a critical relationship When it’s not clear whether to take action When behavior of a 3 rd party should lead to termination of our relationship When omission of information can become equivalent of a lie (failure to tell a customer, supplier or manager) When the issue is on the horizon What ethical dilemmas are on the horizon? Our Dilemmas

27 Intel Confidential 27 Situation #1 Jeff is positioned to take on a Sr. Engineering Manager role. This is a ‘defining moment’ for him: His career is progressing well and he believes in the values of the company and it’s ethical heritage Prior to the transition to the Sr. role, he starts feeling pressure from leadership to pass a project through the next milestone to present a more favorable picture He believes: –the boundaries of honest reporting are being pushed –questionable practices could create an unethical environment moving forward –he may be putting his future at risk

28 Intel Confidential 28 What would you advise Jeff to do? -------------------------------------- Was Jeff taking a risk? What was at stake? What do you think of the approach that Jeff took? Why did it work? Situation #1 Discussion

38 Intel Confidential 38 What would you do and how would you get it done? Ethics Case Studies Goal: To come up with an approach that helps you role model voicing your values and helping others to do the same  As a group we will review an online ethical challenge  Discuss the best path to a decision in alignment with the goal and how to handle escalations

39 Intel Confidential 39 Ethics Case Studies  Joe is on the sales team. Joe and his team have the new big customer that they’ve been waiting for.  However, they are unsure they can actually deliver the product needed, e.g. have never delivered a product like this, they don’t have a proof-of- concept.  Joe’s manager has already committed to the customer and asks Joe to meet with the customer.  Joe knows that meeting with the customer at this point would be inappropriate. He has worked on similar products and knows that living up to a commitment on this would be nearly impossible.  The project moved forward with success but then there are multiple issues. Joe has a meeting with the customer to discuss marketing activities. Joe needs to approve product readiness. Pushing this through will keep things on track. Not approving readiness will set the project back months and will likely jeopardize this critical customer. Challenge #9 When the omission of information can become the equivalent of a lie

How and to whom might I voice a concern?

42 Intel Confidential 42 What action should Joe take? 1.Yes, I am ready to ramp the team and will meet with the customer. However, it’s important that we don’t over promise for something that’s so new to us. I will work out a plan, share the information I have from the past and bring in the right team members to make this happen. Let’s focus on this customer and then ramp more broadly once we’re comfortable. 2.No, I don’t think this is the right time to move forward aggressively. I will share the information I have from the past even though it will mean we will need to push this out a year to better understand what we are getting into before taking a next step. Let’s pull a team together to discuss before we contact the customer. 3.Yes, I am ready to ramp the team and will meet with the customer. Clearly this is a top priority for Intel and we really need to move quickly. We haven’t done this before but you know who to pull into the project to make it successful. We will deliver this at all costs.

46 Intel Confidential 46 What action should Joe take? 1.You meet with the team to review the situation. You decide that this situation is too risky. You call the customer to let them know that the project will be pushed out and that you'll get back to them on the timing. 2.Clearly this is a top priority for Intel and you are at the point of no return. You review the issues, decide to release it as is with clear documentation on the issues that need to be addressed in a later release. 3.You meet with the team to review the situation. Some of the issues have a major impact on the product and may impact the customer relationship as well as our brand. You decide to bring the most critical issues to the customer and work out a plan for a BETA release and a final release in a few weeks. There may be a few issues at that point but you think through how to mitigate and reset any perception issues in the market.

47 Intel Confidential 47 Now it’s your turn Break into groups (1-4) Develop, review and discuss your assigned perspective for each case (1-4) Develop viable responses Assess your team’s performance (positive, negative, neutral) to both financial return & values Prepare response Present to class Ethics Case Studies Goal: To come up with an approach that aligns with Intel values and overall financial return

Complaints included using company money to fund personal items, asking employees to manage his personal business and making comments about an employees age  Alan was a long time Intel employee and good friends with the Division Vice President  Sue knew Alan well and had a good working relationship with him  Alan appears to be involved with multiple activities that are in conflict with Intel’s values  What should Sue do? How can she get it done? Sue’s learning: “The path forward for challenging situations is not black or white, but grey. It’s about exploring different paths, testing out different assumptions.”

50 Intel Confidential 50 Case Study #2 Garin’s Recommendation  Garin is a new purchasing director.  A consultant recommended use of a supplier that will reduce costs to where they need to be for the business, however, the supplier also has potential human rights issues.  Garin’s manager agrees with the consultant and informs Garin and senior management of the new supplier.

61 Intel Confidential 61 Back-up

62 Intel Confidential 62 Treat each other fairly – Case for discussion I never realized that EEs would see my friendship with a staff as favoritism. I’ve worked with him for several years, and I just felt being comfortable and trustworthy, and seem like together we would always deliver the great result. He’s a smart, helpful, considerate, and hard- working guy, and totally deserved what he earned. Over time we have become friends. We went out after work socially. We have even taken vacations together and posted pictures on Facebook. I never knew that other staffs felt unfair and unhappy because of that. The team spirit went down, and I even blamed others for not working hard enough. One day, one of my EEs raised the issue with HR. Even though my relationship did not interfere with my ability to make sound Intel business decisions, I was coach by HR and my manager to be more sensitive about how my actions could create perception of favoritism even when an actual favoritism did not exist.
