Ep 13: Compliance: an obstacle or an opportunity?

Insights from a Let's Talk Risk! conversation with Raimund Laqua

The term compliance is generally viewed as a “necessary evil”, or as a “tax on production”. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In this episode, Raimund Laqua encourages us to view compliance as an opportunity to consider compliance requirements as part of the overall performance standards generally expected by our stakeholders, including customers and regulators. Compliance can be seen as just doing the minimum required and check the box, but it also offers an opportunity to compare our current level of performance with what we need to achieve market leadership.
