COMPLIANCE
MISSION
Who We Are and Where We Are Heading
Lean Compliance was founded by Raimund Laqua, PMP, P.Eng. in 2017 to help organizations meet increasing regulations and stakeholder commitments.
Lean Compliance consists of Operational Compliance Experts dedicated to helping organizations ensure mission success through compliance.
Our clients are forward-looking, ethical organizations that strive to always stay ahead of risk, between the lines, and on mission.
Our programs help elevate compliance above the reactive behaviours and practices that hold organizations back from meeting today's compliance demands across their total value chain.
We accomplish this by harnessing Lean principles, along with proactive, integrative, and holistic strategies, including engineering principles and methods to effectively meet risk and compliance challenges.
Our network of experts and practitioners help raise compliance to higher standards across all domains around the world.
We hold the view that:
-
Organizations must take ownership of all their obligations for compliance to fulfill its duty to protect and ensure value creation.
-
Making and keeping promises is at the heart of compliance necessary for organizations to behave ethically with integrity.
-
Compliance is achieved by design not by hard work alone.
-
Mission success depends on compliance success.
