Innovation In Compliance With Tom Fox

Eric Shepherd is the former CEO of Question Mark. In 2019 he stepped down and now runs a non-profit company called Talent Transformation, focused on helping individuals understand the future, leadership, and learning. Tom Fox welcomes Eric onto his week’s show as they discuss the ways organizations can better develop through a focus on learning rather than training. The Rise in Technology With the rise in technological advances and automation, machines will be replacing human tasks, and what this means is that individuals will need to acquire new skills. “People will need to learn new skills and be more agile in their approach to work,” Eric says. “Just as technology is going to disrupt a lot of jobs, we can also use technology to help us learn the skills required for the 21st century,” he adds. He iterates that communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution are some of the most important skills that need to be developed and nurtured. Eric also adds that employees will feel bitter at having been displ

Julie Myers Wood, CEO of Guidepost Solutions, returns to the Innovation In Compliance podcast this week to talk about how companies can get back to the workplace safely. She tells Tom Fox that this far into the pandemic her conversations with clients have changed to address longer-term issues. Customers are asking questions about security protocols and how to keep people safe, as well as keep business open. Increased Efficiency  Julie says that Guidepost Solutions delivers technology solutions customized to each customer’s needs and existing security platforms. For example, more and more businesses are looking for touchless technology so that they can protect their customers and keep their doors open. Tom comments that this improves business efficiency on a whole and credits the pandemic for forcing us to improve our processes overall.  Work From Home  Tom and Julie discuss the security challenges working from home presents. Julie remarks that companies have to think about creating campaigns to target those

Tom Fox’s guest on this week’s show is Dan Wager, VP of Global Financial Crime and Compliance at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. Dan is an executive with expertise in financial crime compliance and investigations. He and Tom discuss human trafficking, fraud and identifying the patterns of suspicious behaviors within an organization. Tom emphasizes, “All compliance professionals need to understand not only the risks around this area but also what the solutions are… The pandemic has caused an increase in this area because it's closed down other business opportunities for the bad guys.”  It’s All About Money Human trafficking, sex trafficking, money laundering and the like are not crimes of passion, Dan points out. “Their focus is to make money and that desire does not stop during an economic crisis and a global pandemic… It all comes back to moving money.” The way in which these crimes are committed is changing, and compliance professionals need to be aware. Tom comments that commercial corporations are being targe

Tom Fox’s guest on this week’s show is Dr. James Kelley, co-founder and CEO of qChange. qChange is a technology company that uses artificial intelligence to improve leaders’ skills and make meetings more impactful. James spent the last 12 years in academia before co-founding qChange. He chats with Tom about his academic research, his book, and how he is helping leaders become more impactful in meetings. Customize the Message James’ academic research was a five country study about consumers’ attitudes towards global brands. He studied various customer attributes and how it impacted their attitudes towards a brand. What he found was that global companies needed to tailor their narrative to reach customers outside of their local audience. This study has implications for internal communications around compliance as well, he points out. “I’ve always argued that if you could diversify your population inside the organization and tailor that messaging, the likelihood of compliance will increase drastically because y

Lisa Levy, CEO of Lcubed Consulting and author of Future Proofing Cubed, started her career in IT. “I grew up as a project manager implementing systems'', she says, “and watching those system implementations fail because people didn't understand what the new technology was doing or why it was important to them or how it was supposed to actually make their jobs easier.” That early experience led her to focus on “process and building teams that would understand how work is done and then how to use the technology.” She eventually founded Lcubed Consulting to champion better ways of doing work in order to become more agile. Tom Fox welcomes her to this week’s show as they discuss cross-functional collaboration, future proofing, and building agility within the corporate culture through adaptive transformation. It Starts With People “I realized that it's really about getting the right people doing the right work in a repeatable process and then using technology to enable it,” Lisa comments.

She is also the General Manager of The Hero Club, an invitation-only membership organization for CEOs, founders, and inventors. Tom Fox welcomes her to this week’s show as they discuss creating collaboration among leaders to build business growth. C-Suite Network C-Suite Network helps business leaders in growth development by creating an ecosystem of content creation and distribution, Tricia explains. It is a community of leaders motivating and inspiring each other on multiple levels. It is a values-based organization, with an emphasis on how leaders, investors, and businesses put people first. Before the pandemic, it was done via face-to-face seminars but has since then gone virtual. Tom comments that with this pivot, an explosion of content that hadn’t been available to leaders and businesses before has now become available.  The Princ

Gary Chan is the President of Pragmatic Security at Alfizo and specializes in data protection and security. Tom Fox welcomes him onto this week's show as they discuss the ways to help businesses leverage IT departments, enable sales, and meet compliance. Why Information Security When people buy information security, Gary explains, they're not looking for someone to go in and solve every problem. Clients want to look at information security from a business perspective: how will it help them generate revenue and protect only the things the business wants to protect while saving money? Gary calls this ‘pragmatic information security’ because it delves into the why. It is an approach that helps businesses understand what the highest risks are, and how to manage those risks. Security Within Executive Branches Gary finds that even the most sophisticated Board of Directors lack a proper understanding of data protection. They are more concerned with meeting compliance and avoiding fines. “They don’t really understa

Robert Meyers is the Channel Solutions Architect for One Identity, a software company that helps organizations establish an identity-centric security strategy. Tom Fox welcomes him to this week’s show to talk about compliance, data privacy, and employee data issues. The Role of One Identity “Most companies forget about employees, and this gets impacted by GDPR,” Robert says. His role at One Identity allows him to explain to companies where they can fit identity protections for employees. He also helps companies with their logging systems to prevent them from sending out sensitive information into their log store. Robert adds that he also works as a consultant for partners and helps with privileged access management. Data Has a Life Cycle “Data itself should have a life cycle,” Robert emphasizes. The concept of never deleting anything and keeping copies of everything is a bad idea. Data discipline and data management governance expects that you remove data at an appropriate time. Robert iterates that data pr
