11.20 - (Re) Building a Compliance Program
-In the fast-paced world of startups and scale-ups, “compliance” often sounds like a blocker rather than a business enabler. Over the past three years, we’ve been building a compliance program from the ground up. Starting with foundational elements like defining roles and responsibilities, and evolving to leverage technologies like AI-powered monitoring tools such as 4CRisk.
-But it’s more than policies and tools; it’s about shifting the company mindset from a “move fast” startup culture to one where responsible scaling matters.
-This talk will walk through our journey. From running internal surveys asking, “Do you know what compliance is?”, to developing targeted e-learning, and integrating continuous improvement into the compliance DNA.
-We’ll share our biggest challenges (like avoiding becoming the dreaded “no-sayers”) and lessons learned about embedding compliance in a way that’s effective, scalable, and human, even when that means rebuilding it a few times.
