Ask Me Anything: Building a Champions Network for Trade Compliance

The U.S. Department of Justice endorses the value of champions networks in building and enforcing compliant organizational cultures. Champions networks can focus on a range of compliance areas, including global trade. While many companies are now following the trend of building trade-compliance champions networks, there is little guidance available to effectively design and implement successful networks.

In this one-hour Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, we explore a blueprint for building a successful trade-compliance champions network. Topics to be discussed include how to:

• Gain leadership support for the network
• Develop the network structure
• Recruit champions
• Train champions
• Implement the network
• Develop metrics that demonstrate success
