Creativity and Compliance: Reels and Shorts

Where does creativity fit into compliance? In more places than you think. Problem-solving, accountability, communication, and connection—they all take creativity.

Join Tom Fox and Ronnie Feldman on Creativity and Compliance, part of the award-winning Compliance Podcast Network.

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

Today Ronnie and Tom consider how Reels and Shorts can be used by compliance for great engagement and compliance communications.

In today’s digital era, the concept of utilizing social channels for communication is gaining significant momentum. Fox, a strong advocate for the use of social channels, believes in integrating elements of pop culture and millennial trends into corporate communication efforts to ensure the message is not only informative but also entertaining. Such strategies can enhance visibility, influence, and the overall effectiveness of compliance programs.

Similarly, Ronnie emphasizes the need to adapt to modern communication trends, such as the use of short, engaging videos akin to those found on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. Incorporating fun and interesting videos into communication strategies can help break down barriers, increase engagement, and ultimately improve the effectiveness of compliance training and messaging.

Both these experts highlight the importance of simplifying messages, adding entertainment value, and distributing content in various places to increase visibility and influence within the organization.

Key Highlights:

  • Engaging Short Videos for Corporate Communication Strategy
  • Engaging Corporate Communications Through Multimedia Tactics
  • Engaging Compliance Programs for Organizational Influence

2 Gurus Talk Compliance

2 Gurus Talk Compliance – Episode 25 – The Never Go Away Edition

What happens when two top compliance commentators get together? They talk about compliance, of course. Join Tom Fox and Kristy Grant-Hart in 2 Gurus Talk Compliance as they discuss the latest compliance issues in this week’s episode! In this episode, Tom and Kristy tackle various compliance-related topics.

Tesla’s corporate governance is under the spotlight, focusing on the company’s board independence and potential conflicts of interest. Fox has pointed out Elon Musk’s profound control over Tesla, suggesting that the lack of board independence and oversight may necessitate regulatory scrutiny, especially from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). His perspective is rooted in his belief in the importance of corporate governance in protecting shareholder interests, and he raises questions about whether Musk’s leadership is aligned with the expectations of a public company CEO. Similarly, Kristy cites problems with board independence and potential conflicts of interest. She emphasizes the lack of governance within Tesla, particularly noting the court-nullified pay package granted to Musk, and suggests that the SEC may need to intervene even further. She, like Fox, implies that it may be time for Musk to step down and allow for better governance under the scrutiny of regulatory authorities.

Highlights Include

  1. Warren wants the SEC to look into Tesla Board independence. (WSJ)
  2. Goldman files a suit against Malaysia over 1MDB. (Bloomberg)
  3. Mike Lynch finally goes on trial. (FT)
  4. SEC settles first AI washing enforcement. (WSJ)
  5. Adani Green says there is no DOJ investigation notice. (Bloomberg)
  6. TikTok’s Fate Now Hinges on the Senate (WSJ)
  7. The EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive—March 2024 Update (JDSUPRA)
  8. Survey: CCO Resources, Pressures Both Rising (Radical Compliance)
  9. Data sharing causing concerns for drivers (WGRZ)
  10. ‘Not my fault the truck don’t surf’: Florida man arrested after driving car into the ocean (WFLA)
