Using a Business Mindset to Maximize Your Compliance Career

with Eric Brotten

Putting yourself in your business partners’ shoes is more important than ever, especially when you need a seat at the table. Consider practical and pragmatic approaches to delivering value to your business. Learn how to deliver results and make a lasting impression with your business partners, colleagues, and compliance peers. Learn how business moves and how you should fit in it.

Driving a compliance career in the direction you want takes pivot-ready and laser-business focus and alignment of networks, roles/functions, volunteerism and industry involvement. Take on a business mindset and consider how you can be your own “startup” and create a career that is fulfilling and meets your professional goals.

The Secrets of Leading a Global Team

with Lucia Milică

Succeeding in a global economy relies on geographically dispersed workforce and COVID-19 has further underscored that need. There is no question that bringing together team members from many cultural backgrounds, with varied work experiences and different perspective has many benefits to an organization. However, building successful, highly effective teams is challenging enough with everyone sharing the same office space, let alone doing so remotely where communication can rapidly deteriorate. Join us for an interactive discussion where our panelists will share their secrets and lessons learned of leading global teams.

Analytics. Now More than Ever

with Bill Hoffman

Companies that adopt a “Quick Start Analytics” approach will find this move to be their primary driver of success – and survival – in the “Next Normal.”

Well, the future just isn’t what it used to be. While Covid-19 hasn’t changed everything, it has changed enough.

Those fancy advanced analytics capabilities and predictive models you’ve operated your businesses on for years – with meaningful tuning, perhaps even for decades — are likely to no longer “fit” very well. The canvases upon which they were painted heretofore have changed so dramatically. So it’s time to get scrappy.

Companies that are good at leveraging analytics and actionable data for early warning, and that can do so with SPEED, will have a massive competitive advantage in what is now – thanks to Covid-19 – our highly uncertain world. The truth is companies that are good at leveraging analytics and actionable small data with speed have always had the advantage. It’s just that now these advantages matter more than ever.
Companies can’t predict the future, but they can build analytics-driven organizations that will survive and flourish under just about any possible future.

This session provides a practical framework and a set of pragmatic next steps you can take to best inform decision making into the Next Normal. We will also discuss analytics in the context of compliance, ethics, security and risk particularly in light of the DOJ guidance.

Rewire not Retire

with Monique Maddox

After nearly 20 years of providing IT project management services and serving in senior IT leadership roles as an employee, Monique Maddox, Founding Principal and CEO of Macrame Technologies, LLC resigned her corporate leadership position to pursue her dream to own and operate a business where she could provide high quality, competitively priced professional IT services in a manner that is client focused and highly ethical.

Monique’s desire to be an independent business owner stems from observing the passion and drive for success that her father exhibited in his own construction business. From her dad, she learned several lessons about risk, failure and how to engage customers that are key to her business’ success. Knowing that risks exist in virtually every aspect of life, Monique has been adept in identifying risks and acting with precision to minimize negative impacts while positioning her business to maximize potential gains. Monique has learned that although failure is never the objective, failure is often an unpleasant necessity that provides insight and perspective that can be used to refine a product or service. Monique doesn’t fear failure and always seeks opportunities to improve her business based on past experiences. Lastly, Monique has learned that regardless of whether your customer is a consumer or a business, personal relationships are critical to earning initial and maintaining ongoing engagements. She works to connect with every customer and to build a rapport establishing her business’ credentials and capabilities.

The Benefit of a Non-Linear Career, aka “the Untitled Lisa Fine Project”

with Lisa Fine

Many people (especially those who like law, ethics and compliance) think of a career path as one – where you have a start point and a destination, and you can follow the map and a structure. However, many of us realize it is more like a hike, and one day, as the as Robert Frost said “two roads diverged in a yellow wood…” and in work, unlike the poem, sometimes you can take both roads. It could be an unexpected project, it could be a life change, and how do you make the best decisions.
