ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman host Caveni Wong on Creativity and Compliance to discuss how change management principles align with ethics and compliance by focusing on influencing behavior rather than prioritizing “defensibility” alone.
Wong describes her 20-year compliance career across consulting, service providers, and in-house roles, plus change management work at Ernst & Young and IBM. The group emphasizes stakeholder involvement, relationship-building, and user experience (UX) across the full risk management lifecycle, arguing that engaging, creative, and appropriately short training and communication improve attention, retention, approachability, and trust. Wong shares examples like creative visuals, World Cup goalie analogies, and “two truths and a lie” during M&A integration to humanize compliance and build credibility with leaders. They discuss measuring effectiveness via evaluations, recall questions, engagement, increased speak-ups, and more HR/compliance inquiries, concluding that compliance success depends on not forgetting people.
Key highlights:
- Compliance Meets Change
- Beyond Training to Risk
- Human Connection at Work
- Creative Training Examples
