Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection all require creativity. Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on the award-winning Creativity and Compliance. Ronnie’s company, Learning and Entertainment, uses the entertainment devices people use to consume information in their everyday, non-work lives and applies them to important topics in compliance and ethics. It is not only about being funny. It is about changing the tone of your compliance communications and messaging to make your compliance program, policies, and resources more accessible.
Tom and Ronnie are back with their first episode for 2026. They visit with Sven Peterson, VP of Compliance, Ethics, and Regulatory Services at Premera Blue Cross, to discuss using creativity and humor to make compliance more approachable and strengthen the speak-up culture in a highly regulated industry. Peterson explains why his team created “Captain Compliance,” a superhero-style character he plays, in both live and animated versions, to deliver ethical guidance through short skits, training sessions, meetings, and employee events; the program also includes an “Ethics League” and a contrasting character, Professor Pitfall. He emphasizes that ethics is a team sport supported by compliance champions across the company, and advises establishing credibility, gaining leadership buy-in, involving others as co-authors, and aligning with company culture. Reported results include strong employee awareness survey feedback and Ethisphere’s Compliance Leader Verification.
