Welcome to a review of all the Sherlock Holmes stories that are collected in the work “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.” They appeared in Strand Magazine from December 1892 to December 1893. Over the past 12 episodes, I have reviewed each story and mined them for leadership, compliance, and ethical lessons. In this, we begin a two-part series looking at the last story from The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.
The intriguing concept of applying Sherlock Holmes’ methods to the work of compliance professionals is the focus of our discussion today. Tom Fox, a seasoned compliance professional, believes that the principles embodied by the iconic detective, such as ethical behavior, problem-solving abilities, continuous learning, and persistence, can greatly enhance the effectiveness of compliance professionals. Fox’s perspective is shaped by his extensive experience in the field, where he has seen the value of attention to detail, deductive reasoning, thorough research, collaboration, risk assessment, and discretion. Join Tom Fox in this episode of the Adventures in Compliance podcast as he delves deeper into how the methods of Sherlock Holmes can be applied to uphold ethical and legal standards in the world of compliance.
