11.15 – How Can We Change Behavior Sustainably to Create a Reliable Control Environment and How can We Benchmark This on the Market

• With all the tools, policies and matrices the last step is to achieve compliant behavior. What we see is that businesses that are compliant (read management) seem to go off road with all situational changes, new rules, ERP implementations and economic head wind. How can we design a structure to keep them compliant in a sustainable way?

• How can corporates monitor the external environment and adapt to new requirements quickly if necessary? Today the lead time between new acts, rules and directions and applying those into a compliant business environment takes years sometimes even decades. How can we design a structure to quickly adapt changes, be compliant and eventually get a competitive advantage from it?

• If we are able to meet criteria 1 and 2 how can we measure this? And if we are able to measure this how can we objectively compare this to peers in the market? Compliance is typically a cost that organizations want to manage to a minimum.
