Ronnie’s company, Learnings and Entertainment, utilizes the entertainment devices that people use to consume information in their everyday, non-work lives, and apply it to important topics around 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.

They provide examples of pattern disruption techniques, such as changing the name of the compliance department, using fun questions at the beginning of training, and incorporating creative devices like songs, jingles, and fake commercials. The episode concludes with the importance of standing out and making an emotional connection to enhance engagement and recall.

They encounter an alien species known as the Vians, who have captured a mute empath named Gem. The Vians have been conducting experiments to test the crew’s capacity for self-sacrifice and compassion, using Gem’s empathic abilities to heal injuries by absorbing pain and wounds.

Throughout the episode, the crew endures various forms of torture at the hands of the Vians, who wish to determine if Gem is capable of understanding and valuing the human traits of sacrifice and empathy.

Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 66 – Investigative Lessons Learned from Wink of an Eye

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode Wink of an Eye, which aired on November 29, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 5710.5

While exploring an outer quadrant of the Galaxy, the Enterprise receives a distress call from the planet Scalos. However, a landing party needs help locating the transmission’s source. Kirk thinks he detects the buzzing of insects, but the tricorder does not register them. Queer goings-on follows when Compton disappears right in front of McCoy.

After their return to the Enterprise, malfunctions occur aboard the ship, which cannot be explained. Kirk correctly concludes that aliens have been beamed aboard. Spock detects an alien machine being installed into the environmental control, but when Spock attempts to disconnect the machine, he is prevented by a force field. Kirk then disappears.

Kirk makes a tape for Spock, and he explains all this. McCoy discovers the tape, and Spock reads it by considerably slowing it down. Spock then speeds himself up, and the Scalosians are returned to their planet to live out the rest of their lives, recognizing that the Federation will not permit any more Starships to enter the area.

Commentary

The storyline follows the Enterprise responding to a distress call from Scalos, where they encounter the rapidly accelerated Scalosians. Captain Kirk and his crew grapple with malfunctions, an accelerated metabolism, and a plot to use Enterprise crew members for propagation. The episode highlights key compliance lessons, such as understanding time perception, considering alternative perspectives, gathering comprehensive evidence, and maintaining investigation adaptability. Fun facts about the episode’s production and approach to 1960s television standards regarding sex are also shared.

Trekking Through Compliance – Episode 65 – Compliance Lessons Learned Plato’s Stepchildren

In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode Plato’s Stepchildren, which aired on November 12, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 5784.0

Story Synopsis

The episode begins with the USS Enterprise responding to a distress call from a planet populated by the Platonians, a group of telepathic humanoids who model their society in ancient Greece. Upon arriving, Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and Dr. McCoy discover that the Platonians possess extraordinary telekinetic powers, which they use to manipulate and control others for amusement.

The Platonians’ leader, Parmen, demands that Dr. McCoy stay on the planet to serve them indefinitely, citing his medical skills as invaluable. When McCoy refuses, Parmen uses his powers to torture Kirk and Spock, forcing them to perform humiliating acts for entertainment. The Platonians’ cruelty is driven by their belief in their superiority and the assumption that their powers make them invincible.

As the episode progresses, the crew devises a plan to level the playing field. They discover that the Platonians’ powers are derived from kironide in the planet’s food. By synthesizing a serum, they temporarily gain similar telekinetic abilities. This allows them to challenge Parmen’s control, ultimately leading to the Platonians’ defeat.

A significant moment in the episode is the forced kiss between Captain Kirk and Lieutenant Uhura, one of the first interracial kisses on American television. While orchestrated under duress, this scene is iconic for its social and cultural impact.

Ultimately, the Enterprise crew warns the Platonians to change their ways, illustrating themes of resistance against tyranny, the ethical use of power, and the importance of equality and consent. Plato’s Stepchildren remains a thought-provoking episode that tackles complex social issues within a science fiction context.

Commentary

The plot revolves around the Enterprise crew encountering sadistic psychokinetic Plutonians who use their powers to amuse themselves at the expense of their captives. The episode is notorious for featuring the first interracial kiss on American television, though the context reveals a much darker scenario. Key compliance themes discussed include power dynamics, the importance of speaking up, respect for diversity, consent, crisis management, and accountability. Fox provides valuable insights into fostering a strong compliance culture while warning viewers about the episode’s disturbing content.
