8:00 APPROACHES FOR INSTILLING ACCOUNTABILITY AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF COMPLIANCE TRAINING
A strong sense of leadership in a life science organization is of critical impor-
tance in corporate compliance, and instilling a compliance-focused tone at the
top, one in which executives show ethical behavior at all times, is paramount
to compliance training. There are many factors that may influence how execu-
tives view compliance training; however, it is crucial to instill importance into
executives when training, showing cause and effect examples of non-compli-
ance. Techniques and approaches to imparting the significance of compliance
training vary from organization to organization; while there is no perfect way of
portraying severity, a combination of best practices may be the most beneficial.
• Incentivizing employees for compliance-related behavior
• Tying training mishaps to paychecks and bonuses
• Convincing senior management of the importance of training
• Developing a performance management program for non-compliance
Sharon L. Post, VP, Corporate Compliance, B. BRAUN MEDICAL INC.
8:45 SYNERGIES BETWEEN THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN EFFECTIVE
COMPLIANCE PROGRAM & EFFECTIVE TRAINING DESIGN STRATEGIES
Compliance trainers oftentimes wonder why an audience may not connect with
the training delivered or why demonstrating the positive impact of training on
performance can be difficult. This session will explore ways compliance execu-
tives can design training that feels relevant to targeted learners by refocusing
on Robert Gagne’s steps of instruction, and comparing and contrasting these
with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines Characteristics of an Effective Compli-
ance Program.
• Utilizing Gagne’s steps within instructional modalities (F2F as well as virtual)
• Reinforcing compliance program elements through training activities

9:30 COFFEE AND NETWORKING BREAK
10:00 PANEL: BENEFITS OF UTILIZING SCENARIO-BASED
TRAINING IN COMPLIANCE
To increase retention rates and emphasize the importance of training, compli-
ance teams must look beyond eLearning and read and response instruction
when developing compliance training curriculum and delivery. Scenario-based
training allows executives to learn lessons in practical situations while making
mistakes in a non-consequential environment simulating real-world experienc-
es. A study illustrating examples of effective scenario-based training including
improved efficiency, company success, and increased engagement of employ-
ees will give training executives new tactics with which to instruct teams.
• Application of compliance principles in day-to-day tasks
• Scenarios that provide realistic decision-making opportunities
• Recognizing learning objectives and alternative outcomes
• Methods for clarifying correct responses from trainees

10:45 ADULT LEARNING TECHNIQUES: NECESSARY CONSIDERATIONS
FOR COMPLIANCE TRAINING
When looking at compliance training at life science organizations, it is crucial
to understand how adults learn best in order for training to be as effective as
possible. Adopting theories of adult education that are based on valuing pri-
or learned knowledge and experience along with differences in various learn-
ing styles, trainers can maximize training sessions by incorporating specific
adult-learning methodologies into teaching strategies. Developing compliance
training that appeals to different learning styles will ultimately assist compli-
ance training executives in providing effective training to employees.
• Leveraging experience in scenario-based lessons
• Allowing learners to take control of the learning process
• Encouraging self-evaluation as a form of assessment
• Allowing time for and inciting active participation
Derek Lundsten, CEO, SCRIMMAGE
11:30 EMPLOYING SHORT-BURST LEARNING METHODS TO INCREASE
RETENTION OF COMPLIANCE TRAINING
As employees are frequently flooded with required compliance training, finding
effective, impactful and engaging ways to educate and communicate a curricu-
lum becomes difficult for compliance trainers. Short burst learning is a method
of delivering compliance training material that is interactive and quick, provid-
ing many benefits to trainers such as the ability to cover many risk topics, to
raise awareness, reduce classroom training, and to train on-the-go employees.
The utilization of short burst training to supplement longer eLearning or class-
room training while continuously emphasizing key risk areas proves to increase
knowledge retention and reduce the occurrences of compliance related issues.
• Ascertaining ideal topics for short burst training
• Developing training for topics that require urgency
• Reinforcing awareness of compliance related issues

1:15 EFFECTS OF ENTERTAINMENT-EDUCATION ON ETHICAL
DECISION-MAKING AND SPEAKING UP
Entertainment-Education (EE) is a novel approach to increase awareness of
compliance and ethics (C&E) issues while influencing behaviors such as speak-
ing up when an issue is identified. In this session, recent research in this ex-
citing field will be reviewed along with experiences in developing EE videos for
compliance training. Attendees will have the opportunity to view clips from an
EE video series designed to increase awareness of pharmaceutical sales and
marketing compliance issues and change attitudes towards speaking up.

2:00 ACHIEVING A BALANCE IN BLENDED LEARNING FOR
COMPLIANCE TRAINING
The ultimate goal of compliance training within the life science industry is to
affect the behavior of employees in order to ensure that organizations main-
tain complete compliance. There are many factors that need to be taken into
consideration when assessing the ideal training methodology for various com-
pliance-related topics, such as audience, learning objectives, time constraints,
geographical limitations, as well as expected retention rates. An examination of
the aforementioned factors and the possible impact on training methodologies
will assist compliance training executives in choosing the ideal means by which
to train employees on various regulations and company policies.
• Determining training goals and learning objectives for lessons
• Training new employees, seasoned employees, upper management
• eLearning vs in-classroom training: methods for guaranteed retention
• Case study examples of blended learning methods

3:15 EFFECTIVE VIRTUAL COMPLIANCE TRAINING FOR TODAY’S
WORKPLACE
In today’s workplace, it is vital for companies to adopt the most efficient,
cost-effective training tools to address the training needs of employees across
multiple locations. While live training sessions are generally considered the
most effective training format, they are usually the most expensive as well. This
session will outline tips and tricks for efficient, cost-effective live virtual training
sessions that can be used to effectively drive engagement, enhance retention,
and support learner satisfaction.
• Designing engaging and effective virtual training programs
• Creating a training curriculum for virtual format
• Incorporating available tools to ensure positive outcomes

4:00 OVERCOMING CHALLENGES IN GLOBAL COMPLIANCE TRAINING
As life science organizations expand and operate globally, maintaining com-
pliance training on an international scale proves to be challenging due to geo-
graphic, language and cultural barriers. Concerns that arise when delivering
global compliance training include difficulties in identifying training targets,
delivering training to those targets, consistently staying abreast of changing
global regulations, and the lower retention rates from distance learning. Com-
pliance executives must also consider the cultural and language differences
when training international employees, prompting the development of culturally
sensitive and relevant curriculum. Through utilization of a supportive LMS sys-
tem and empowerment of local management teams to champion compliance
training, life science companies can ensure ongoing adherence to global regu-
lations and company policies.
• Addressing challenges of delivering content to global population
- Employees
- Distributors
- Agents
- Vendors
- Suppliers
• Methods for empowering management on a global scale
• Assessing the impact of international training
• “Just in time” curriculum for global compliance training

8:00 DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE TRAINING FOR SUNSHINE ACT REPORTING
An ongoing challenge in compliance relates to ineffective training for those who
handle HCP transactions and increasing company-wide awareness and commit-
ment to the criticality of data accuracy in aggregate spend reporting. Executives
who incur transactions and spend need to be trained in the accurate and timely
recording of information in order to streamline the reporting process for compli-
ance and transparency teams. Developing effective training for sales reps, clini-
cal and R&D executives will reduce the potential of HCP disputes and decrease
the amount of time and resources dedicated to tracking down incorrect data.
• Identifying departments that require compliance training
• Working with sales leadership to educate personnel
• Training employees on the CMS portal to certify accurate data entry
• How and what to report: ensuring sales rep comprehension
• Creating easily adaptable training systems and processes

8:45 SOCIAL MEDIA COMPLIANCE TRAINING STRATEGIES: EFFECTIVE
DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION
As the use of social media within the life sciences becomes more prevalent,
companies must develop and adopt compliance policies surrounding the appro-
priate use of social media platforms in order to protect companies. While social
media provides opportunities to enhance brand reputation, improve customer
service, and gain competitive insights, the lack of defined corporate policies,
auditing and monitoring strategies, as well as disciplinary policies surrounding
social media misuse are concerns for compliance executives. An examination of
the development and implementation of an effective social media compliance
policy will aid compliance executives with instituting corporate policies based
on the ever-changing social media landscape.
DEVELOPMENT OF A SOCIAL MEDIA COMPLIANCE TRAINING POLICY
• Establishing guidelines for official and personal uses of social media
• Identifying behavior constituting misconduct, or breaches of confidentiality
• Instituting controls, regular reviews, and monitoring of social media sites
TRAINING LIFE SCIENCE EMPLOYEES TO COMPLY WITH SOCIAL MEDIA
GUIDELINES
• Identifying employees required to take part in social media training
• Ascertaining the best time frame for executing compliance training
• Developing a communication program for a social media policy
• Effective explanation of violations and consequences for non-compliance

10:00 IMPLEMENTING A ROLE/RISK-BASED ASSIGNMENT APPROACH
TO COMPLIANCE TRAINING
Many organizations struggle to assign relevant training to its employees while
trying to ensure risk is mitigated while not overloading the individual employee.
Implementing a risk/role based approach to assignments provides assurance
you are not exposing your company to undue risk without overtraining.
• Defining your risk
• Review methodology for implementing this approach
• Hear about how Teva Pharmaceuticals implemented this approach

10:45 DEVELOPING PRIVACY TRAINING PROGRAMS TO ENSURE
COMPLIANCE
Life science companies employ thousands of individuals, many internationally,
who have access to personal or sensitive data that must remain private. An
ongoing strategy is needed to guide the development of effective privacy train-
ing to create awareness, to instruct and change behavior when necessary, and
to ensure company-wide compliance. A successful training strategy is based
on needs identification and establishing the most effective employee contact
points. Identifying a methodology for developing a privacy training program will
aid compliance executives in effectively safeguarding personal and sensitive
data across an organization.
• Development of comprehensive training programs
• Providing a thorough and clear understanding of privacy
• Proactive training and re-training opportunities, as well as role-based training

11:30 ONGOING IMPROVEMENT OF COMPLIANCE TRAINING THROUGH
MONITORING OF EFFECTIVENESS
The periodic evaluation of compliance training ensures meaningful and rele-
vant training material is taught in an effective manner. Evaluating the effective-
ness of compliance training ultimately results in increased knowledge retention
by employees, improved job performance, and decreased non-compliance.
Identifying periodic ways to test and measure knowledge retention is one way to
monitor training effectiveness that allows compliance trainers to pinpoint when
training practices need improvement or employees need retraining.
• Determining timeframes for evaluating training methods
• Assessing when compliance training policies need alterations
• Case study example of measuring training effectiveness

1:15 PANEL DISCUSSION: EFFECTIVE METHODS FOR MEASURING
KNOWLEDGE RETENTION
A key concern for life science compliance training executives is the develop-
ment of methods for the accurate measurement of knowledge retention. Com-
monly used tactics for assessing retention include exams at the end of eLearn-
ing modules or tests delivered by the instructor during classroom training. While
these assessments are useful, compliance training teams strive to find other
effective methods for gaging knowledge retention.
• Best timeframes for testing knowledge retention
• Innovative approaches for evaluating retention
• Measuring the long-term success of compliance training

2:00 APPROACHES FOR COMPLIANCE TRAINING FOR THIRD PARTIES
Life Sciences companies rely heavily on distributors and other third parties in
their operations around the world. Conducting compliance training to third par-
ties is an important component of a program to mitigate the compliance risks
with these relationships. This session will address some of the challenges in
and approaches to developing a third party compliance training program.
• Determining delivery mechanisms that meet the content and language needs
of a global and geographically dispersed audience
• Identifying and risk-assessing relevant training populations
• Designing training that is relevant and engaging
• Determining the frequency of training
• Tracking training completion and measuring effectiveness
