Creativity and Compliance – Change Management, Fun, and User Experience: Driving Engagement in Compliance

July 24, 2026

Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman host Cavini 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 communications 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.
