In this brief segment, the speaker critiques the "scramble" mentality often employed in compliance work. While scrambling can meet immediate regulatory requirements, it fails to support the continuous improvement that compliance frameworks demand. The speaker notes that after intense, last‑minute efforts—often involving 10‑12‑hour days—teams become exhausted, making it unlikely they will engage in the ongoing improvement needed for sustainable compliance.

If any, if I wanted somebody to come away with this with one thing, it would be that scramble mentality appears to work from a very high level and doesn't. I mean, I know personally for me, like, we would scramble and we would get it done, whatever the requirement was. Part of the requirement of any of these compliance frameworks is supposed to be continuous improvement. But, you know, after everybody's scrambled and worked, you know, 10, 12-hour days and everybody stops and takes a deep breath, nobody actually wants to do the continuous improvement. Everybody's exhausted.
