Turning The Light On… General Electric’s Compliance Program: Keynote interview with Brackett Denniston, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, General Electric

General Electric is a global company with an array of businesses, stretching from TV to lighting to lending to aircraft engines. Making sure a company of that size is complying with U.S. and foreign regulations and also has, in place, a strong anti-corruption effort is no easy task. Brackett Denniston, Senior Vice President and General Counsel for GE, talks about how the company attempts to handle these policies, what works and what doesn’t and what issues most concern him going forward.

Corporate Compliance: Are Your Employees Truly Ready to Battle Corruption?

Having a code of ethics is not enough to ensure compliance. Training is the vital step that brings these standards to life. Effective training helps ensure that key tenets are retained and applied. While organizations need to take every measure to ensure that employees take training principles and apply them to everyday situations, this is oftentimes easier said than done. What are the best practices in workforce training employed by leading organizations and their training providers? What are they training on, who’s being trained, and how is this training being delivered and tracked?

The Global Imperative: High Performance With High Integrity: An Interview with Ben Heineman, former senior vice president for law and public affairs at GE and senior fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and Harvard Law School

Many reasons have been suggested for the global economic meltdown. To Ben Heineman the primary one is fundamental: Bad and unethical business decision making. The former senior vice president for law and public affairs for GE and currently a senior fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and Harvard Law School believes the failure of corporations to fuse high performance with high integrity has eroded trust in the free enterprise system and created a crisis in global capitalism. In this special session, Mr. Heineman will sit down to discuss what he learned from his 20 years at GE and what corporations can and should be doing to fuse high performance with high integrity.
