Governance, Culture, Leadership Assessment and Advisory Services
Today’s global business community finds itself in an environment where credibility has been eroded as never before. Increased public scrutiny, new regulatory requirements, and declining levels of employee engagement have made it imperative for organizations to revisit their corporate values and evaluate how those values are (or are not) reflected in the behavior of each and every employee. In the 21st century, companies that win will pursue culture as a conscious and deliberate strategy for sustainable differentiation.
This solution offers:
- Best practice methodologies, survey platforms, comprehensive reporting capabilities, focus groups, and other expert advisory services to assess employee behavior in relation to your corporate values and develop a vision for the future
- Sharp analysis of your organization that goes beyond measuring employee engagement, levels of commitment, or job satisfaction and get to your core behavioral strengths, as well as areas for improvement
- Benchmarking against LRN’s HOW Metrics™ to gain insights into critical behaviors and their impacts on your business performance
This solution helps your organization:
- Get a thoughtful and insightful analysis as to what your corporate culture is, in practice and perception
- Clarify and refine your core corporate purpose, values, and desired leadership behaviors
- Define the cultural goals and ideal behaviors you’d like to manifest in your organization
- Develop strategies to address key improvement areas and measure the progress over time

Code of Conduct
The foundation of any company’s ethics and compliance program is its Code of Conduct. A Code of Conduct is the single document that every employee reads, discusses, and in many cases certifies against. Yet, many companies miss the opportunity to write, design, and communicate a Code in a way that can inspire employees, reconnect them with the mission and values of the organization, and help mitigate unwanted behaviors.
If your values are to be manifested throughout the organization, your Code of Conduct must be more than just a set of legal rules and policies to which your employees must blindly adhere. Your Code of Conduct should be a set of principles that inspire employees to act and make decisions in a way that exemplifies and strengthens your culture beyond mere compliance. Similarly, the Code should be designed and communicated in a manner that inspires discussion, dialogue, feedback and deeper understanding through carefully crafted education and outreach.
This solution offers:
- Expert analysis and advice on the key factors that should influence your Code of Conduct
- A range of creative expertise, including writing, designing and branding codes
- Strategic deployment planning and support tools for cascading your Code to all employees from the “Boardroom to the Breakroom”
- Highly customizable education and communication programs that foster understanding, sustain engagement, and bring your Code of Conduct to life throughout your organization
- Electronic web-based Code of Conduct application strategy designed to deliver an interactive resource that will help employees put the Code into action
This solution helps your organization:
- Use values-based Codes of Conduct to inspire your workforce and reinforce principled behavior beyond minimum standards of compliance and conduct
- Apply best practices and interactive educational experiences to do more than communicate what the code is, but teach how to approach certain situations and (more importantly), why that action is desirable
- Create and deploy a Code that is actionable and utilized by employees – not a policy document that sits in the file drawer

Risk Assessment and Management
Effective risk assessment and mitigation are central to any meaningful Ethics & Compliance effort. However, often times these processes are disconnected from the core business and manually intensive. Their resulting data is held in static spreadsheets or reports that can’t truly provide the needed insights to effectively manage risks in today’s dynamic and changing environment. In many instances, the resulting risk mitigation plans and action items are also left untracked and incomplete.
We provide a customizable solution to engage your entire company in a facilitated discussion about the risks to your business and the potential mitigating actions, all in a dynamic and interactive environment that can capture the subtlety, nuance, and variation of risks across a complex organization. Through easy to use web-based technologies and relational databases, your risk assessment data and actions are easily available, managed, and reported on.
This solution offers:
- The best practice methodology to engage the broader organization in assessing Ethics & Compliance risks, establishing risk priorities, reporting key findings, and facilitating enterprise-wide risk management
- Access to a library of 25 customizable risk area questionnaires, including over 100 questions previously written by LRN’s subject matter experts
- Expertise to advise you on your risk assessment process, configuration of risk management parameters, and development of effective mitigation strategies
This solution helps your organization:
- Establish a standard set of risk assessment questions for each relevant risk area to ensure enterprise-wide consistency in soliciting responses
- Engage business managers and subject matter experts across the company in assessing the key risks facing their operations
- Capture quantitative and qualitative input from all participants
- Track progress through customizable status reports
- Aggregate risk data to determine priorities throughout the organization and by risk area
- Establish risk mitigation plans and track progress against the plans
