Developing a campus culture of compliance excellence
High level strategic planning will be necessary to develop a campus culture of compliance excellence. Units within the Division will benefit from a coordinated approach in the creation and development of the Division. Some of the strategic initiatives to be addressed include campus communications with internal stakeholders, networking with external legal, compliance, and risk management stakeholders, rebranding of Division units, and branding of the Division as a whole, socializing the work of the Division with stakeholders, assessing current resources, and making better utilization of resources, and development and delivery of compliance and risk management educational content to campus.
