About the Webinar
In a world where risks are omnipresent, complex, and potentially extremely costly, taking a risk-based approach to regulation is essential—but sound human judgment and regulatory management is critically important for success. Achieving excellence in regulation demands much more than merely the well-executed completion of technical tasks. It requires an infusion of consistently high levels of integrity, competence, and public engagement throughout a regulatory organization, instilled in all of its people, at every level. Author Cary Coglianese, JD, PhD, will discuss how, even in a world of increasing technological sophistication and complexity, regulatory excellence ultimately demands “people excellence.”

(Note: Dr. Coglianese is delivering the Dr. Herbert Platter Lecture, which is hosted annually by the FSMB. The lecture honors Dr. Platter, who served the State Medical Board of Ohio from 1917–1966 and was the FSMB’s President from 1929–1930.)
