Agile compliance – paradox or necessity?
Dr Nick Broughton, Founding Partner, Ethos Pharmaceutical Ethics and Compliance Limited
In this talk, Dr Nick Broughton will challenge the perception that thinking in a flexible iterative way about compliance issues is in some way paradoxical, that somehow compliance is rigid and immovable and cannot be part of the creative process. Further, he will argue that iterative and flexible thinking is indeed essential in compliance, as is personal accountability and that without these in place compliance as a concept is flawed and may even be unethical. -
