CSI Roundtables 2017 New York / Boston London / Paris
From Afterthought To Growth Driver: The (R)Evolution of Compliance, Risk and Data Management
“CSI is a platform for compliance, operations, risk, legal, and tech leaders to share perspectives and best global practices for the industry.” Compliance in investment management, along with risk, technology and data management, is the centerpiece of upcoming global regulatory efforts, with a shift in culture and conduct. With potential black swan costs when mismanaged and a growing complexity of adhering to ever changing global/local regulatory and reporting requirements, the Compliance Strategy Institute (CSI) is a peer-to-peer platform for compliance, operations, legal, risk and technology executives to share perspectives, examine best practices and develop compliance thought leadership, in affiliation with Compliance Solutions Strategies (CSS).
CSI deals with the themes of strategic priority for investment management executives, as they think on a high level about compliance, risk, technology and their impact on business models and growth initiatives (CIO and board relations, next generation reporting, alternatives as the next compliance frontier, outsourcing compliance functions, reputation and regulation, etc).
Simultaneously, the institute addresses the more technical and operationally essential issues compliance, legal, tech and risk departments are faced with to ensure the sustainability and growth of their organizations (the “multi”-maze, product innovation, MIFID, PRIPS, GDPR, SEC amendments and changes, cost-benefit compliance analysis, changes in IT, data and reporting, and more).
In addition to providing proprietary research on regulatory trends, the CSI allows for yearlong peer-to-peer discussions, along with help around talent acquisition and management, data management, regulatory updates, and best practices for the industry through a membership format. The CSI 2017 executive roundtables spanned New York, Boston, London and Paris and included senior representation (alphabetically listed below) from global asset managers, hedge funds, private equity and boutique investment houses, wealth managers, the SEC, the European Central Bank, investment consultants, leaders in brand, fashion, new media, and think tanks, including:

Shahin has spent the last 15 years in the agency, corporate and academic worlds creating paths that help navigate through these types of opaque problem spaces.
In his experience, ‘innovation’ and ‘transformation’ is challenging for many organizations since the 'Board' often need to commit to outcomes before they take action. Yet, this goes against how true innovation and transformation emerge.
For The Economist Group, he has been defining and leading a digital transformation program aimed at creating growth for one of its major businesses. In his short tenure at Accenture, he contextualized how a customer centered proposition would look like in the next few years within the financial services industry.
Previous to that, he was a partner at a User Experience and Digital Service Design agency where he helped to establish a thriving business from scratch; the agency helped FTSE 100 clients to deliver mission-critical usercentered digital services.
Finally, his PhD looked at the way people distribute their collective cognition when they engage in creative collaborative work in a collocated environment. By studying human to human interaction, Shahin was able to describe the cognitive properties of a session of work, leading to an understanding of how technology can influence product outcomes.
