Compliance doesn’t have to feel overwhelming – even for small and mid-sized businesses with limited resources, evolving risks, or brand-new compliance teams. Whether you’re building a program from scratch or refining what’s already in place, success starts with aligning your approach to your stage of growth.

In this session, NAVEX experts Ingrid Fredeen and Jared Deane will share practical insights for navigating early-stage compliance, managing internal expectations, and choosing tools that scale without adding unnecessary complexity. Jared brings operational expertise from hundreds of customer conversations, while Ingrid offers more than 20 years of experience in ethics, compliance, and employment law.

Together, they’ll explore real-world strategies for gaining traction, earning buy-in, and building smart, sustainable programs – no matter where you're starting. 

In this session, you'll learn how to:

• Get started without getting stuck – What to do when you’re not sure where to begin
• Lead through your first 100 days – How to set priorities, assess your program, and engage stakeholders
• Make the case for compliance – Learn how to advocate for budget, cross-functional collaboration, and long-term value
• Choose tools that fit your size and strategy – What “right-sized” tech looks like and how to avoid overbuilding
