Declarations

: The CGIS practitioners (i.e., participants) were informed about the study, their right to decide whether to participate or not, i.e., that participation is voluntary, and their right to withdraw from the study at any time to ensure <i>autonomy</i>. Written consent was obtained from participants before every interaction, i.e., before every round of interviews and the focus group session. Participants in this study provided consent that opinions, feedback, and any other data gathered could be included and directly referred to in the study and research. Consent was also specifically obtained per participant for recording the interview(s)/focus group session and including the answers/responses in this study. The University of Pretoria’s Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and IT’s ethical committee approved the study.

: For <i>beneficence</i>, confidentiality was crucial in the study. Although data, e.g., participant details, opinions, and feedback, obtained in the study was kept for traceability, the data was anonymised in the study so that it could not be linked back to a specific person. It could however be linked back to a specific role. Anonymity of the employees participating in the research was also ensured by not referencing the enterprise directly in the study/research, i.e., CGIS was used as a pseudonym.
