Delivering on the Promise: Compliance Through Performance

Organizations face a complex landscape of regulatory, ethical, and stakeholder expectations. These obligations, both explicit and implicit, shape the operational environment. To thrive, organizations must translate these obligations into tangible commitments or promises. However, true success lies in delivering on these promises, ensuring compliance and building trust.


Compliance performance is the bridge between commitments and expectations. By carefully tracking performance against promises – a measure of integrity – organizations gain valuable insights to predict and mitigate risks. This proactive approach is essential for navigating a dynamic regulatory landscape and exceeding stakeholder expectations.



  • Obligations (must happen): serve as the foundational elements, shaping the organization's operational and compliance landscape. They directly influence the promises and commitments that are made.

  • Promises (plan to happen): are operationalizations of obligations, transforming compliance requirements into concrete actions and commitments. They directly contribute to prediction by providing specific targets and benchmarks.

  • Predictions (forecast to happen): are informed by the performance of promise keeping (integrity). By analyzing historical performance against these parameters, organizations can forecast potential risks and opportunities in meeting obligations.

  • Expectations (should happen): influenced from obligations are often amplified or modified by predicted performance.


The interplay of obligations, promises, and performance is a continuous cycle. As the external environment evolves, organizations must adapt their promises to align with changing obligations. By mastering this dynamic, businesses not only meet compliance requirements but also create sustainable value and build a strong reputation.
