Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics which might not seem to be directly related to compliance but clearly influence our profession. In this episode, I conclude a two-part series with John Champion, one of the founders of Mission Log, a Roddenberry Star Trek Podcast. John’s original mission was to do a podcast on every episode of Star Trek, beginning with TOS, TAS, the movies, TNG, DS9, Voyager and beyond. It began in 2012 as a 14-year odyssey and has only grown in length. In this Part 2, we take up the Star Trek story at TNG and bring it forward to the present day. Highlights include:
- The uneven start of TNG and how the show found its footing.
- The Trek Files and Dr. Trek himself, Larry Nemecek.
- A new generation takes over from Gene Roddenberry and the original creative team.
- DS9-a town on the frontier.
- A new Star Trek in the 21st century.
- Picard-Seasons 1 & 2.
- Star Trek-a show for its time and for all time.

Susan Divers-Moving In-House
The Compliance Life details the journey to and in the role of a Chief Compliance Officer. How does one come to sit in the CCO chair? What are some of the skills a CCO needs to success navigate the compliance waters in any company? What are some of the top challenges CCOs have faced and how did they meet them? These questions and many others will be explored in this new podcast series. Over four episodes each month on The Compliance Life, I visit with one current or former CCO to explore their journey to the CCO chair. This month, my guest is Susan Divers, currently Director of Thought Leadership at LRN.
In 1994, Susan moved in-house becoming the first Deputy GC for international at SAIC. In this role she set up compliance programs for ABC, trade controls and investigations as SAIC did not have a dedicated CECO at that time. She traveled extensively internationally and had experience with the Overseas Private Investment Company after the SAIC joint venture was nationalized by Chavez in Venezuela. After a brief stop at Lockheed Martin, Susan moved to the Chief Ethics and Compliance (CECO) role at AECOM.

S&P Global Settlement
S&P Global Inc. settlement – apparent violations of Ukraine sanctions in 2016 and 2017.
Attorney David Simon joins us to share his expertise on the essence of G in ESG, the responsibilities of compliance practitioners, how lawyers are the perfect fit for ESG, and the importance of practicing authenticity and integrity in compliance.
▶️ The Meta Contract and Compliance in Governance with David Simon:
Key points discussed in the episode:
✔️ David Simon defines the meta contract as taught by Professor Alan Morrison in his Governance and Ethics course at Oxford University.
✔️ Procedures and internal controls should be given attention in the ESG space.
✔️ The meta contract is the corporation’s word. It can also be the organization’s brand, culture, and purpose for existing. It embodies what your business is all about.
✔️ Integrity and authenticity are the two key concepts companies must adhere to when applying ESG. Businesses should be real with their values and rank their stakeholders accordingly.
✔️ The FCPA has become a “one-stop-shop” for compliance, providing frameworks and roadmaps. But for any advances to happen, companies must adjust their programs focusing on their individual business risks.
✔️ Compliance professionals and lawyers shine in ESG roles. Their skillset suits the responsibility of reporting back to the C-levels. They can take meta contracts and enforce them consistently through accurate data tracking and providing feedback.
✔️ The meta contract is an implicit representation of how companies follow legislation. Breaking it is a violation of trust among consumers and their community.
David W. Simon is a litigation attorney who devotes much of his practice to helping corporate clients avoid and manage crises that potentially give rise to government enforcement actions.

Andy Rudin is the Managing Principal of Contrary Domino, a management consulting company that improves financial performance by optimizing internal operations. Tom Fox welcomes him to this week’s show to talk about revenue risk management and revenue governance, and what they mean for the sales officers within organizations.
Contrary Domino
Risk management is not often factored in the sales and marketing funnels of organizations. Andy founded Contrary Domino to answer this need. The percentage and likelihood of revenue opportunities closing or coming to fruition aren’t often thought of as risk management problems. “I saw that opportunity and wanted to bring more process rigor to that, more mathematical rigor and bring the risk management principles into the realm of revenue generation,” he tells Tom. Contrary Domino’s client base is mainly information technology firms with sales forces of ten or more. “Helping organizations establish that culture and then establish processes and mechanisms to prevent ethical problems from occurring or at least minimizing their likelihood is central to what I do,” Andy says.
Revenue Risk Management
Tom asks Andy to define revenue risk management. “Revenue risk management is taking the fundamental risk framework that you might find in any other discipline and bringing the same principles into risk management,” he explains. It entails going through risk identification, risk polarization, and other activities where you’re considering various outcomes. “You’re looking at your worst case, your best case, and then you’re most likely case, and then running through your scenarios iteratively and then determining what are we most likely to achieve,” Andy remarks.
Revenue Governance
“The involvement and oversight of revenue generation activities by others in a cross-functional, a cross-departmental way in an organization,” is Andy’s definition for revenue governance. In the past, companies left the revenue engine in the sole hands of the sales department. Presently, revenue operations have been spread out to where even customer support can be responsible for it. The governance aspect relates to all entities in the organization having visibility into the activities of the sales department, and what they are doing. “Coupled with that is the opportunity to take action if something is not compatible with corporate strategy or if certain processes or activities that are occurring in generating revenue bring risk into the organization,” Andy adds.
The Future of Revenue Risk Management
Tom asks Andy to shed some light on what role revenue risk management will play in the coming decade. Risk management in the realm of sales is going to become more dominant. Even though most organizations haven’t put the formal risk management rigor to their sales department, they are thinking along those lines. There will also be a greater role for financial planning in the sales operations as more businesses become integrated.
