Innovators are attracted to the open road — and high speed. But in large organizations, their desire to move fast and explore new terrain often comes into conflict with colleagues in the compliance, legal, and security departments. In this report, we dive into the dynamics of the relationships between innovation teams and their colleagues in legal, compliance, and security.
Inside the report, we highlight data from 150 innovation professionals on topics such as when they start working with legal, compliance, and security colleagues, and their advice on building strong working relationships.
The report includes perspectives from innovation leaders at HCA Healthcare, Avanade, BNP Paribas, Sanofi, BBVA Compass, Reliant Energy, and ADP, as well as case studies about the intersection of innovation and risk management from Adobe, Royal Bank of Canada, USAA, AstraZeneca, and more.
