Presented by Mark Fitzgerald • Chief Compliance Officer, Brigham Young University Hawaii
A key to creating a culture of compliance is to make it meaningful for all who are involved. Too often compliance is seen as a restriction rather than a series of best practices that can keep all of us safe and enhance user experiences. By adopting practices learned from your help desk –– knowledge management, continual improvement, setting expectations, and practice communications –– you can transform compliance into a tool to help users trust in what IT is delivering to them.
