This cutting-edge program teaches leaders how behavioral science and cultural psychology can help re-imagine their approach to key compliance challenges.

Under the guidance of seasoned industry professionals, participants will:

  • Gain new insights into the psychology of compliance and human behavior in the workplace
  • Better manage the uncertainty of shifting priorities and a changing enforcement landscape
  • Acquire a set of tools for designing more effective compliance interventions
  • Have more confidence operating in a complex, modern-day organization
  • Leave with practical strategies they can put to work immediately upon returning to the office

The interactive program features engaging sessions that focus on experiential learning, including case studies, group exercises and human-centered design workshops. Participants will have opportunities to network, learn from their peers, and tackle their own challenges in real-time during guided exercises. Attendees will leave the course well equipped to re-energize compliance design and strategy discussions in their own organizations.
