About Interact 2011

Todayʼs corporate environment demands that every department adopt the “Do More with Less” mantra. In enterprise legal operations that means General Counsel need to effectively balance a growing portfolio of litigation, strict regulatory enforcement, growing risks and heavy penalties while being held to the same operating standards and performance metrics as any other core business unit.

Chief Compliance Officers are similarly affected. Complicating a new array of regulations has been hiring freezes, layoffs, and budget cuts. The result has been predictable: More work for compliance officers and their staff with fewer resources available. The demand for greater business agility, efficiency, and effectiveness in legal and compliance operations drives decision-makers from the nationʼs leading enterprise to uncover new strategies and technologies at Interact 2011.

Each year, legal and compliance decision-makers attend Interact to discuss key issues, build career-enhancing networks, and discover best-in-class products and services to improve success.

Interact 2010:Governing Social Media

The folks at Mitratech were nice enough to send me to Miami to talk at their annual Interact 2010 conference to talk about social media and compliance. This was the session description:

Governing Social Media: How to Monitor, Manage and Make the Most of Employee Use of Social Media

  • Doug Cornelius, Chief Compliance Officer, Beacon Capital Partners, LLC (that’s me)
  • Kathleen Edmond, Chief Ethics Officer, Best Buy
  • Scott Giordano, Director, Product Marketing, Mitratech
  • Janice Innis-Thompson, SVP & Chief Compliance Officer, TIAA-CREF

Corporate Communication takes on a whole new meaning in a world of social media, where employees can freely post their views and spread documents, photographs and even videos across the globe with a click of a mouse. Companies that are ahead of the curve not only have established policies regarding use of social media sites by their executives and employees, but also are finding ways to use social media to their competitive advantage. Join our panel to hear about the risks and rewards that a well managed approach to social media can bring.

Here is the slide deck from our panel discussion:
