However, as the compliance field evolves and matures, the need for more experienced compliance professionals continues to grow, there is the need to hire top notch compliance talent to do the day-to-day work of implementing, enhancing or running a compliance program. Where can you go if you want to hire some experienced compliance professionals to insert in your organization who can hit the ground running? I thought about that question when reading a book review of David Schiff’s “The Ellington Century” in a recent issue of the Times Literary Supplement. In this review, entitled “Sentimentals”, Stephen Brown noted that Ellington’s instrument was his band. While the Duke was very good at spotting talent, he was willing “to let it have its own voice, and more, to highlight and showcase it, and most importantly to involve it in the creative process.” When a musician came out of the Ellington Band, they had worked steadily with other great musicians and had learned from one of the greatest composers and arrangers of the past century.
