Conference Day Two - Wednesday 25th March 2026

9:30 AM Panel Discussion: Designing Scalable Regulatory Operating Models

For digital platforms that span regions, product lines, and regulatory regimes, piecemeal compliance approaches create inefficiency, duplication, and risk. Leaders need operating models that are scalable, adaptable, and embedded into the business, rather than reactive fixes to each new regulation. This session explores how to build frameworks that balance global consistency with local responsiveness.

  • Developing standardised compliance frameworks that can flex to meet global and local regulatory requirements
  • Reducing silos and duplication by streamlining processes across legal, policy, and product functions
  • Building agility into operating models to adapt quickly as new regulations emerge (safety, data, AI, competition)
  • Connecting regional and business unit operations to central oversight for consistency and accountability
