EMPOWERING PERFORMANCE

CECO Lab

You've just been appointed Chief Ethics & Compliance Officer (CECO). There are so many things competing for your attention, so many things you want to tackle and leaders you need to influence. It feels exhilarating, but a little overwhelming. Where to start?

Our CECO Lab is an immersive, individually tailored, day-long program. It helps you get clarity on what is important and urgent, your challenges and opportunities, boosters and blockers, and helps you shape a strategy and timeline for tackling them all. You'll emerge feeling inspired, energized and better equipped to make your talents count.

Data & Analytics

In business today, your most important asset, besides people, is data; and Ethics & Compliance management is no exception. Do you have the data you need to manage effectively? Are your key performance indicators and metrics adequate and meaningful? Does your team have the tools and skills to analyze your data and extract the insights that identify and quantify risk, inform leadership and evaluate effectiveness?

When it comes to data, we know what matters and where to find it. We can help you uncover insight in data from non-traditional sources. We can advise on the most meaningful KPIs and metrics and enhancing your analytical tools and skills.

Code of Conduct Reinvention

Does your Code of Conduct inspire your people rather than merely instruct them? Does it truly reflect your culture, brand and risk environment? Does it connect your company's values with behaviors and business outcomes? Do employees read it with pride and feel confident in protecting the company and doing the right thing?

If you hesitate to answer yes to any of these questions, we are ready to help. We can identify enhancement opportunities; we can help you envision your Code's potential. If transformation is your goal, we have a wealth of experience and ideas to get you there.

Ethics & Compliance Leader Toolkits

Most people want to do the right thing and protect their organization from risk; but leaders and managers must be ready to help. Not only should they lead by example, but they should also create an environment where team members feel safe and supported when they ask questions or raise concerns. Saying "My door is always open" is no longer enough, especially when virtual working is now so common. So, the leaders themselves may need some help.

Having been leaders ourselves, we understand the courage it can sometimes take for employees to speak up. They want to know what will happen next and how they will be protected from retaliation. Business leaders and managers do not need to be Ethics & Compliance experts, but they should be equipped to support and direct their people in time of need. Our customizable Leader Toolkits provide a grounding in expectations and processes as well as resources that can help them show ethical leadership and help others do the same.

Culture Assessment

Culture shouldn't happen to your organization; it should be the result of a deliberate and intentional effort to shape your operating norms — the values, beliefs, expectations and experience of your people — and how these translate into positive interactions with your stakeholders. This effort requires that you have clarity about the culture you want to foster, an understanding of your current state, and a pathway to the desired future state.

We were interested in organizational culture and its impact on behaviors and risk even before the U.S. Federal Sentencing Guidelines introduced it as a key element of an effective ethics and compliance program in 2004. We can help you design, conduct and analyze a Culture Assessment to inform the next steps on your culture journey.
