What is allowed?

Regulatory requirements are generally viewed as a burden by organization leaders. They issue warnings about not being compliant and give authority to specialists to drive large initiatives.

I continuously ask:

  • Are you allowed to be compliment ahead of a deadline stipulated in a directive?

  • Are you allowed to become compliant step by step in smaller chunks?

  • Are there any penalties if you contact a supervising authority?

Still, “everyone” is putting tremendous efforts into analyzing and planning before squeezing in a one-time big implementation just in time for the deadline. Only the compliance department is allowed to have a dialogue with the authorities.

After the deadline, there are plenty of unfinished issues to deal with. But management communicates success and then presses on with more important business initiatives.

If it is allowed, is it better to learn from small implementations with less risk for penalties and poor quality?

What would be your choice? Just wondering….
