Nordic Business Ethics Network's Anna and Niina had an insightful discussion on compliance trends with Philip Winterburn, Chief Strategy Officer at Convercent.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub Perhaps the most intriguing title for a session at the 2021 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute was “Re-Thinking Employee ‘Engagement': What's on Your Compliance Program's Dating Profile.” Not often you see references to dating the compliance department. To learn more about the session and the ideas behind it we sat down with the speakers:  Asha Palmer, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, Convercent; Scheretta Wilson, Director, Ethics and Compliance, Endo1Partners; and Ronnie Kann, Head of Global Ethics & Compliance, Energizer. While the title is a bit fun and out there, the lessons are very practical and close to home. The central idea is that people are watching and listening to see what compliance does and how it acts. That means compliance teams need to focus on being approachable, engaging with their audience and, frankly, trying to be likable. Or, as they put it, and to borrow from the dating apps, you want them to swipe right, not left. So what does that mean in practice? For one, being a good listener. Just as someone who talks all the time is a bad date, while a good listener is usually a much better one, compliance needs to be a place where others feel comfortable speaking, raising concerns, and asking questions. Compliance also needs to adjust to who is on the other side of the table. For leadership the keys they see are securing buy in early, keeping it simple, and using their own language, such as demonstrating financial ramifications. For the rank-and-file workforce, success comes from helping them understand risk and what to look out for. It also means being approachable and present. And, when it comes to middle management, a group that is often overwhelmed with demands from above and below, be collaborative. Ask them how things are going both personally and for the business. Find out what's keeping them up at night. Talk about data, metrics, business impact and financial outcomes. It's the love language of business. Listen in to learn more, and then spend some time considering your own team's dating profile.

This month, my guest is Asha Palmer, CECO at Convercent.  It was Palmer's consulting business that helped her better understand the true state of the ethics & compliance profession. She began at the beginning but early on saw that compliance was often seen as a back-office function, with siloed systems and multiple stakeholders. She observed companies trying the same things over and over with stale training, unclear objectives of certain processes and procedures. All of this informed her approach to compliance.

Compliance Evangelist Tom Fox shares the screen with Philip Winterburn, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Convercent, in yet another engaging conversation here at The Compliance Handbook podcast. Listen in as Philip shares his journey in compliance, the revolution that Convercent software created in the ethics space, and what he's seen from his perspective over the past decade.  Key takeaways in the episode: ✔️ Glean lessons how Philip's love for mathematics led him in applying technology to solve business problems and co-founding Convercent nine years ago as a dream to bring something different into the ethics and compliance world.  ✔️ Why melding the concepts of behavioral science, ethics into compliance requires having good metrics to identify areas of weakness, where and how to apply the change, track trends, understand human behavior and influence those people, and then use data again to measure the impact of those programs.  ✔️ Consider how the speed of social media and the potential reputational damage can get tricky for companies to defend themselves. Philip reminds: you don't need a great PR firm to protect you, but be good through and through. You have to act with integrity in everything you do. ✔️ Understand how the evolution of the thinking of risk is a business opportunity. Philip explores his observations on the shift from legal to business and from law to behavior in the compliance profession. ✔️ Lean in how Convercent journeyed as a profession of going from the regulatory world to now offering more about business enablement and business outcomes with the tools and capabilities they offer.   ✔️ Looking into the future, it can be both an opportunity and challenge for the compliance and ethics profession to use artificial intelligence to accelerate and expand reach within organizations and elevate more significant insights. ✔️ The merging of Convercent into OneTrust portends for Convercent, driving ethics to the center of business and moving forward to a truly enterprise-wide risk management solution.  ✔️ Analyzing and synthesizing information into key insights and telling stories, and engaging our business peers will be a critical skill set necessary for ethics and compliance professionals in the future. ✔️ Failing to embrace environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks will be detrimental to the ethics and compliance professionals if we don't jump into it.  Philip Winterburn is the Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Convercent, the world's first Ethics Cloud Platform. As a leading global provider of ethics and compliance software, companies use Convercent to engage with employees, understand organizational risk, and create more robust, sustained business performance opportunities. Convercent has over 600 global customers, including Microsoft, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Capgemini, and Under Armour.

This episode features an interview with Esther Flammer, Vice President of Demand Generation  and acting CMO of Conga.Esther is a senior marketing executive with nearly 20 years of B2B and agency experience in SaaS, high-tech, and non-profit sectors. Her dynamic leadership has driven success at high-growth B2B technology companies like Conga, Convercent, and Return Path.On this episode, Esther discusses the balance between the art and science of marketing, what B2B can learn from B2C, and the different motions that fuel high-transaction, high-volume inbound pipeline versus the targeted ABM strategies that drive complex, enterprise-level deals.Key TakeawaysMarketing is a delicate balance of art and science, but in demand gen, you’re going to need a lot of data to back up the strategies you employ for generating the pipeline needed to meet the company’s goals.If you sell to SMB and Enterprise, high-velocity, high-transaction deals are going to be very different than complex, enterprise-level deals. Make sure you have distinct go-to-market strategies for each segment and that you’re fueling both engines, but that you also understand the overlap between the two.In-person events are on hold, but virtual events are still a strong tactic. The reach is much larger but you have to be much more focused, purposeful, and intentional about the content to keep audiences engaged.Quotes“We see so much ROI and a lot of the bigger deals and true qualified pipeline coming from [our ABM efforts]. It’s a very multichannel, targeted effort, starting with the technology that provides propensity to buy data…really defining what those target accounts look like, adding in targeted advertising so that we can warm them up and truly personalize…then ensuring that we're delivering the right message to the right person at the right time, that it's personal, that it's relevant and it’s aligned with where they are in their buyer's journey.”“We were invited to be on a pilot to try out Qualified.com on Salesforce AppExchange…and it's been a game changer completely. We've always had high volumes from AppExchange and from each of our product listings, but we were able to see much higher conversions, more qualified conversations and true pipeline come from that. So we’re huge fans.”“Because of the fact that we don't really have live events where you would typically see conversations happening at a booth, [conversational marketing] has been a great addition to our full demand gen strategy and the tactics and channels that we're utilizing.”“I think there's a lot that B2B can learn from B2C–tech and data analysis and neuromarketing and things like that. B2B tech is, I feel like, just starting to do that in a sense, but there's a lot that we can do to actually provide really relevant content to people who are looking to purchase.”“I feel like when you're in demand generation, there's kind of always a target on your back just because you are accountable for the pipeline that the business needs to close in order to hit the bookings goals. Demand generation in most cases is front and center: What are you doing? What is your strategy? How are you producing more pipeline? ...Everything is very much kind of that art and science of marketing…So we use a lot of data and science to figure out how much pipeline we need, and for me, our goal of the demand gen team is predictable pipeline. We put a lot of effort into trying to figure out how much pipeline do we need to create in this quarter in order to hit our goals, both this quarter as well as next quarter and beyond.”SponsorDemand Gen Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for Demand Gen pros. The world's leading enterprise brands trust Qualified to instantly meet with buyers, right on their website, and maximize sales pipeline.

In the Department of Justice’s Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs, Prong 8 Incentive and Disciplinary Measures it states: Incentive System – Consistent Application – Have the disciplinary actions and incentives been fairly and consistently applied across the organization? In the FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy it states, “Appropriate discipline of employees, including those identified by the company as responsible for the misconduct, either through direct participation or failure in oversight, as well as those with supervisory authority over the area in which the criminal conduct occurred”. Under Hallmark Six of the Ten Hallmarks of an Effective Compliance Program it states: In addition to evaluating the design and implementation of a compliance program throughout an organization, enforcement of that program is fundamental to its effectiveness. A compliance program should apply from the board room to the supply room—no one should be beyond its reach. DOJ and SEC will thus consider whether, when enforcing a compliance program, a company has appropriate and clear disciplinary procedures, whether those procedures are applied reliably and promptly, and whether they are commensurate with the violation. Many companies have found that publicizing disciplinary actions internally, where appropriate under local law, can have an important deterrent effect, demonstrating that unethical and unlawful actions have swift and sure consequences. However, I believe that the 2012 FCPA Guidance’s best practices are more active than the ‘stick’ of employee discipline to make a compliance program effective and I believe that it also requires a ‘carrot’. This requirement is codified in the US Sentencing Guidelines with the following language, “The organization’s compliance and ethics program shall be promoted and enforced consistently throughout the organization through (A) appropriate incentives to perform in accordance with the compliance and ethics program; and (B) appropriate disciplinary measures for engaging in criminal conduct and for failing to take reasonable steps to prevent or detect criminal conduct.” One of the areas which Human Resources can operationalize your compliance program is to ensure that discipline is handed out fairly across an organization and to those employees who integrate such ethical and compliant behavior into their individual work practices going forward. This is more than financial incentives for ethical behavior but institutional objectivity for your employees. Institutional objectivity comes from procedural fairness. This is one of the things that will bring credibility to your compliance program. Today it is called the Fair Process Doctrine and this Doctrine generally recognizes that there are fair procedures, not arbitrary ones, in processes involving rights. Considerable research has shown that people are more willing to accept negative, unfavorable, and non-preferred outcomes when they are arrived at by, processes and procedures that are perceived as fair. Adhering to the Fair Process Doctrine in two areas of your Compliance Program is critical for you, as a compliance specialist or for your Compliance Department, to have credibility with the rest of the workforce. Finally, it is yet another way to more fully operationalize your compliance program. Administration of Discipline One area where the Fair Process Doctrine is paramount is in the administration of discipline after any compliance related incident. Discipline must not only be administered fairly but it must be administered uniformly across the company for the violation of any compliance policy. Simply put if you are going to fire employees in South America for lying on their expense reports, you have to fire them in North America for the same offense. It cannot matter that the North American employee is a friend of yours or worse yet a ‘high producer’. Failure to administer discipline uniformly will destroy any vestige of credibility that you may have developed. Similarly and as was re-emphasized in the FCPA Corporate Enforcement Policy, there must be real consequences to employee who violate your compliance program. If the regulators come knocking and you have not disciplined any company employees for Code of Conduct or compliance program violations in multiple years, the DOJ and SEC will conclude pretty quickly you are not serious about compliance. Fair process means that you must discipline those who engage in compliance violations no matter what their position is with the organization. Employee Promotions In addition to the area of discipline which may be administered after the completion of any compliance investigation, you must also place compliance firmly as a part of ongoing employee evaluations and promotions. If your company is seen to advance and only reward employees who achieve their numbers by whatever means necessary, other employees will certainly take note and it will be understood what management evaluates, and rewards, employees upon. I have often heard the (anecdotal) tale about some Far East Region Manager which goes along the following lines “If I violated the Code of Conduct I may or may not get caught. If I get caught I may or may not be disciplined. If I miss my numbers for two quarters, I will be fired”. If this is what other employees believe about how they are evaluated and the basis for promotion, you have lost the compliance battle. Internal Investigations The third area the Fair Process Doctrine is critical in, is around internal company investigations. If your employees do not believe that the investigation is fair and impartial, then it is not fair and impartial. Further, those involved must have confidence that any internal investigation is treated seriously and objectively. One of the key reasons that employees will go outside of a company’s internal hotline process is because they do not believe that the investigation process will be fair. This fairness has several components. One would be the use of outside counsel, rather than in-house counsel to handle the investigation. Moreover, if company uses a regular firm, it may be that other outside counsel should be brought in, particularly if regular outside counsel has created or implemented key components which are being investigated. Further, if the company’s regular outside counsel has a large amount of business with the company, then that law firm may have a very vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Lastly, the investigation may require a level of specialization which in-house or regular outside counsel does not possess. An often-overlooked role of any CCO or compliance professional is to help provide employees procedural fairness. If your compliance function is seen to be fair in the way it treats employees, in areas as varied as financial incentives, to promotions, to uniform discipline meted out across the globe; employees are more likely to inform the compliance department when something goes array. If employees believe they will be treated fairly, it will go a long way to more fully operationalizing your compliance program. Three Key Takeaways The DOJ and SEC have long called for consistent application in both incentives and discipline. The Fair Process Doctrine ensures employees will accept results they may not like. Inconsistent application of discipline will destroy your compliance program credibility. This month’s podcast sponsor is Convercent.
