The best corporate compliance officers evolve from the narrow, danger-focused vision of a canary in a coalmine to the expansive, guiding perspective of a lighthouse, enabling them to identify wider angles and navigate the best routes to shore.

Being effective in this role requires us to ask the questions that will help the business appropriately balance its competitive survival instincts with its greater vision.

• What are the short-term and long-term outcomes we are seeking?
• How is this decision aligned with our strategy
