In 2020, the U.S. Department of Justice shook up the compliance world once again by updating its Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs guidance. The document is intended as a reference of questions prosecutors can ask organizations during an investigation, but it also acts as a blueprint for how companies should be structuring their compliance programs.

If you missed it last week, we are breaking down some of our favorite True North takeaways over the course of the next 4 weeks.

We are still feeling energetic from our first True North conference a month ago, In fact, we’re so excited about our endless pages of notes, quotes, and ah-ha moments, we thought we’d create a meme-worthy Cliff’s Notes version of our favorites! In the spirit of short and to the point, we’ll be dripping these over the next five weeks. And of course, we’re planning longer format deep-dives into some of the topics you said you wanted more of!

In my daily work, I have the great pleasure of talking about compliance training strategy. In those conversations, one of the most frequent questions I get is “how can we issue less training and still be aligned with DOJ Guidance?”

Next up in our interview series, Profiles In Compliance, we spoke with Joshua Stratmann, a true compliance futurist, from BMC Software.  Joshua talks us through how he defines success for a compliance program, and how he has evolved training at BMC Software to help all employees live out the organization's core values.
