"Holiday" 2016 PPM Analysis: Country
By Mike Kinosian
Managing Editor
LOS ANGELES — Our in-depth overview of "Holiday" 2016 PPM results concludes with a summary of country.
Previous similar spotlights focused on adult contemporary (Monday, 2/6) and hot AC (Tuesday, 2/7).
An overwhelming majority of adult contemporary stations played all-Christmas music the majority of this sweep. It is therefore hardly surprising that, among these three formats, AC claims the most prolific (6+) market rank (#3.15) and boasts the strongest (6+) share (10.12). In an especially stunning stat, 83% of ACs in our sample rank in their respective markets' top five (6+).
Meanwhile, hot AC (#9.41 and 4.11, 6+) edges out country (#10.04 and 3.85, 6+) for second-place in (6+) market rank and market share, respectively.
Even though it has the largest sample size, country is the only one of these three formats without a #1 representative in any of the 48 PPM-markets ("Holiday" 2016, 6+): AC is #1 in an astonishing 38 cases, while a hot AC ranks first in three PPM-markets (6+, "Holiday" 2016).
Breakouts below consist of data from country outlets that rank in the top 20 in any PPM market (6+, "Holiday" 2016).
Over and above that particular ratings caveat is another parameter: Nielsen Audio only releases audience estimates for stations that subscribe to its services. For that reason, ratings stats in this analysis are limited to stations that pay Nielsen Audio for its data.

Michael Baisden to Re-Enter National Syndication from Home Base 'KISS 104.1' in Atlanta. Beginning January 16, 2017, urban radio personality Michael Baisden is back in the radio and syndication business hosting his afternoon drive show from Cox Media Group's urban contemporary WALR, Atlanta "KISS 104.1 FM." CMG Atlanta VP of programming Tony Kidd states, "We are looking forward to Michael returning to radio and returning to Atlanta on 'KISS 104.' He's an extraordinary talent providing humor, relationship advice and social awareness and solutions for change to the adult audience." Baisden adds, "I'm anxious to get back to having fun with my fans and engaging them in adult conversation about relationships, promote mentoring, and encourage them to live their dreams of starting a business, and of course, playing the best music on the planet! I truly miss talking to my radio family on the radio every day and listening to their crazy stories. But what I miss most is making a difference in their lives." Baisden and Westwood One parted company acrimoniously in March of 2013. At his peak, Baisden's show was heard on some 100 affiliate stations.

The State of Women on Talk Radio – Part 4
Why aren't there more?
By Jeff McKay
Special Features Correspondent
Continuing today (11/5), TALKERS presents a multi-part feature story about the status of female talk show hosts in the radio business that will run throughout this week.
Part 4: Where is it going?
NEW YORK – It was established in the first three installments of this article about the state of women on talk radio – particularly "news/talk" radio – that although there are many successful female practitioners of the art heard around the country, male hosts continue to outnumber females by a startling ratio of approximately seven-to-one. The question is why?
Another question: Where is it all going?
Would an increase in the number of women on news/talk radio change the "nature" of the medium?
And, of course, that leads to the bigger question, should talk radio be looking to expand its nature and target audiences by hiring more women?
Can the spoken word medium successfully expand into more of a variety of directions and attract new female-skewing audiences via an increase in females on the air? Is that a risky move?
What do women want to hear enough to make talk radio of any genre part of their daily habit and routine?

She Said "Yes." Someone must have mentioned to Mark Brill that, when done correctly, radio is perhaps the most effective one-one-one communications platform. In just 22 warm-and-fuzzy seconds, the loyal partisan of Hubbard Washington, DC all-news operation WTOP fully underscored that unique strength of the medium. WTOP was clearly the centerpiece and most integral participant in this story – which has several moving parts – but a few other key players aided Brill in the performance of his life. This past Saturday (8/8) at precisely 6:07 am, Brill and his girlfriend, Phyllis Liebman, were in Bethany Beach, Delaware. While not out-of-the-ordinary for Brill to be tuned to WTOP (in this case, more accurately streaming the station online), Liebman, ostensibly, thought she was doing so at the request of her employer MRP Realty. Liebman's boss asked that she listen at that specific time to verify that an ad the company purchased on WTOP ran as scheduled. One slight detail: There was no MRP Realty spot. What Liebman – and every other WTOP listener – heard at that time, however, was this marriage proposal from Brill (listen here). Brill first saw Liebman three years ago (7/16/2012) at the concession stand of a tennis match. "Later, I saw her sitting behind me and it looked like she was looking at me," he recalls. "I did get up the nerve to give her my business card and said if she wasn't dating anyone to call me." Several weeks later, the two had their first date and Liebman informed Brill she wasn't looking at him but at Michelle Obama, who was seated a few rows opposite him. WTOP sales manager Skip Quast's responsibility was to have Brill's proposal air exactly at sunrise, which that particular day was 6:07 am. Many businesses contact Quast regarding advertising information on WTOP (the market's #1 station for the seventh straight month, 6+, Nielsen Audio PPM) but when he received Brill's call in May, Quast states, "It was a first. Mark explained how WTOP was his favorite station and said he was planning to ask her [to marry him] in August. I let him know we might be able to help him out and asked him to give me a call when he was ready. I wasn't sure I would hear back from him, but he called again in July and set a date. I am happy we were able to help and make it a special day for both of them." Score another victory for the power of radio.

Alex Bennett: Still Pioneering After All These Years
A Good Listen to a Good Guy
By Mike Kinosian
Managing Editor/West Coast Bureau Chief
LOS ANGELES — Some view their own age and/or that of others as a roadblock – a barrier to achieving an untold number of additional hopes and dreams.
To others, age – more correctly – is merely a meaningless number with no attached strings or restrictions.
It would have been quite easy and understandable for Alex Bennett to take leave and retreat from the business in which he has been an integral part for several decades. After all, the legendary broadcaster was 73 years old when Sirius XM unceremoniously pink-slipped him last June after more than nine years of service at the satcaster (he turned 74 two months ago).
Notwithstanding an imposing and lengthy list of accomplishments and vitae, which the native Californian could trumpet as an entree to retirement, he has become an entrepreneur with "Alex Bennett's Great American Broadcasts" being the centerpiece of his novel take to talk radio.

Schnitt vs Bubba Trial Delayed for One Day After Schnitt's Attorney Arrested for DUI. It's a rather bizarre twist in what is a high-profile case in Tampa. The judge in the case granted a one-day delay in the trial after Charles Philip Campbell, Jr. was taken into custody Wednesday evening on suspicion of DUI. He refused to take a blood alcohol test and was released on $500 bond. The trial will resume today as nationally syndicated talk host Todd Schnitt is suing Bubba the Love Sponge (Todd Clem) for defamation. Schnitt spent most of two days on the witness stand Tuesday and Wednesday. Clem's attorney tried to score a few public sympathy points telling Fox 13 Tampa, "I'm shocked that the case was continued. I feel horrible for this jury that has been sequestered and pulled from their jobs, their lives and their families." He told the TV station he didn't understand why Schnitt's other attorneys couldn't handle the case.
KFI, Los Angeles Adds J.R. Martinez for Sunday Evening Program. The "Dancing with the Stars" champ, best-selling author and retired U.S. Army soldier begins his permanent role as host of the 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm Sunday program on Clear Channel's KFI, Los Angeles this Sunday. J.R. Martinez was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and, shortly after arriving, his Humvee hit a roadside bomb that trapped him inside the burning vehicle. He suffered severe burns over 34% of his body and spent 34 months at Brooke Army Medical Center recovering. In October of 2012 he published Full of Heart: My Story of Survival, Strength and Spirit (Hyperion 2012) that became a New York Times best-seller. KFI program director Robin Bertolucci says, "He's so inspirational and dynamic. He filled in for Bill Carroll during the holidays and I just had to have him join our line up! I'm thrilled he jumped at the opportunity and I'm excited to see what he will do with his own show." Martinez replaces the David Cruz program. Cruz is concentrating on his four-hour daily program on sister progressive talk station KTLK.
WCNN, Atlanta Goes Local in Late Mornings. Dickey Broadcasting's sports talker WCNN, Atlanta "Sports Radio 680 The Fan" is adding the new local show "The Front Row" for the 9:00 am to 12:00 noon daypart. The show stars Ray Mariner, Sandra Golden and Brian Finneran (pictured here from left to right). Golden and Finneran are also part of the "Rude Awakening" AM drive show (which will be trimmed by an hour to a 9:00 am stop beginning Monday). Mariner was co-host of the morning show on Lincoln Financial Media's crosstown CHR WSTR "Star 94" until he exited that post back in May of 2012. The show replaces Fox Sports Radio/DirecTV's Dan Patrick program.
Are You Ready for Some Baseball? Okay, so much of the country is in Super Bowl mode right now, but radio consultant Holland Cooke reports to TALKERS that with so many news/talk stations (as well as sports talk signals) carrying MLB play-by-play in their markets, now's a good time to begin preparing to take advantage of those expensive rights. Cooke writes about ways to take ownership of the play-by-play beginning during spring training. Once the season starts, use brief promotional slots – like top-of-the-hour IDs – to promote the next game. Check out more on this in Holland Cooke's Friday piece here.
Boomer Esiason Tackles TV and Radio on Super Bowl Sunday; Dial Global Handles Exclusive Radio Coverage. The NFL's Super Bowl is usually the biggest TV event of the year but for the millions of Americans who can't be near a TV, Dial Global's exclusive radio play-by-play delivers the game. This year, Boomer Esiason and Kevin Harlan will be in the booth calling the game for Dial Global. But Boomer is also a CBS Sports employee (in addition to his AM drive work on WFAN, New York) and he'll be on CBS TV as part of the pre-game show and the halftime broadcast. After he finishes the pre-game show from the field, he'll move upstairs to the radio booth to call the game with Harlan. Talk about a busy day for Boomer! Dial Global's coverage of the event also includes such experienced talent as James Lofton, Mark Malone, Jim Gray and Scott Graham.

WFVA, Fredericksburg, Virginia Returns to News/Talk on Monday.

Ten year WFVA veteran Ted Schubel will continue as the station's news director and will also host a one-hour local program titled, "Town Talk With Ted," airing weekdays at 8:00 am. The show will introduce listeners to local businesses, non-profit leaders, and political figures who influence the Fredericksburg region. Centennial Fredericksburg market manager Tom Hamilton says, "It has been nearly two full years since WFVA changed from a news/talk station to adult standards format. During that time, we have paid attention to what our listeners have said. Overwhelmingly, they told us they wanted news/talk back on WFVA. By providing many of the most-listened-to talk show hosts in the nation, along with community involvement, local news and public affairs programming, we will better serve our listeners, our local businesses and our community."
KFNX, Phoenix Adds New Syndicated Programming. Genesis Communications Network's Alex Jones is part of the new lineup at Francis Battaglia-owned KFNX, Phoenix where he airs in the overnight time slot.

Peacock Sports Network Playing The Hits
Part Two of a Special Feature
By Mike Kinosian
Managing Editor/West Coast Bureau Chief
LOS ANGELES — As sure as 2013 has arrived, personal resolutions have been made, and a plethora of prognostications will bombard us.
Equally as predictable is that not long into this brand new year, those well-meaning self-promises will be severely compromised, and one's forecasting ability becomes cloudy-looking, at best.
Here, however, is something that could actually be a trend this year: Don't be surprised if clusters with multiple talk stations jettison one of those signals to sports.
Associated with that, we very well might witness a spate of under-performing (primarily talk) outlets transition to sports.
Three Steps to Digital Revenue Power
By Chris Miller
Chris Miller Digital
SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH – President Barack Obama has been appearing on radio morning shows lately … not on talk stations, but on stations that play music. On September 17, TALKERS magazine's sister publication RadioInfo covered how one of these appearances came together for Cox's hip hop station in Orlando. The President has shown up on alternative and Spanish language stations, too. Politics aside, this is a success story for radio! Obama's campaign has been targeting certain messages to appeal to certain voter blocks. They have microsites on the web, different social media groups, and targeted, focused e-mail lists. However, what did they use to present the President in both a targeted and a personal way? They used RADIO!
Radio is the original targeted medium. It's potentially even more targeted in this new media world. Having digital inventory to sell on our streams and websites only makes us a stronger business partner for clients who want to hyper-focus their message. That's the power of broadcast plus digital! To maximize that power, you can follow three steps.

Rush Limbaugh Named "Famous Missourian"; Choice Irks State Democrats. Premiere Networks nationally syndicated talk star Rush Limbaugh was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians yesterday in a closed ceremony at the state capitol in Jefferson City. A bronze bust of the talk host was unveiled during the event. State Democrats were disturbed by the ceremony that was not announced until 20 minutes prior to it beginning. It took place in the chambers of the House of Representatives and Democrats were not allowed in. Missouri House Speaker Steven Tilley told the Kansas City Star the ceremony was closed because of the controversy and so that Limbaugh and his family could attend and be "treated respectfully." Democrats were not invited because earlier they signed a letter protesting the induction. In a speech at the induction Limbaugh stated, "This is something I never, ever thought would happen to me…I want to express my deep gratitude. I'm exceptionally proud to accept this honor, and really very humbled." Limbaugh joins the ranks of such famous Missourians as Mark Twain, Harry Truman and Dred Scott.

"The nightmare is over and I'm back to a normal life," said a relieved Vijender Singh broke his silence on the sensational drug scandal that severely hurt his reputation, insisting that more than a crisis, it was a learning experience that left, stronger and wiser.
Speaking to PTI in an interview, the first after the scandal broke more than two months ago, the Olympic bronze medalist opened up about what happened before receiving a certificate of "all clear" by the National Anti-Doping Agency.
"The nightmare is over for me and I'm back to my normal life.'ve Started training and waiting for the World Championships in October," said the 27-year-old middleweight boxer, the first Indian be number one in the world in the international ranking.
"I am grateful to the Government of Haryana, the Ministry of Sports, the Indian Olympic Association and the Indian Boxing Federation standing next to me, and because it gave me confidence. Now I'm back to training in the field and nothing can be better then this, "he added.
It has been over two months since Vijender found in dilemma when his name came up in massive drug haul after Punjab police recovered heroin worth around Rs 130 crore, NRI house Anoop Singh Kahlon in Zirakpur .
The presence of a car used by the wife of Vijender Archana near the house raised a media storm and on April 1, the Punjab police said Vijender bought heroin for personal consumption 12 times different from Kahlon.
Vijender denied the charges and was subjected to a drug test that came back negative NOTHING.
The six-foot strip of Haryana said there are lessons to be learned, even in the worst of the crisis and learned from his time in front of the dispute.
"I believe that what God does is done for good, always try to look at life that way. Even in this incident I'm sure God must have thought something good for me," he said.
"Each incident, good or bad, teaches you something. Also learned some things. I realized who my true friends and who are the hangers. I noticed the difference, because all my good friends formed a circle of support around me, "said Vijender.
"Another lesson is that it will never be friends with someone as casually as I used to be. I'll never leave my car keys or my cell phone with anyone. I have become wary of people who are very natural given what I through, "the boxer.
"I was in Mumbai when everything exploded. Suddenly I see my car is somewhere, people taking my name and when asked questions about whether he was on medication, it was painful," he said.
When asked if, even once, felt that his achievements were completely forgotten, while questioning his integrity, Vijender decided to laugh it off.
"Maybe the TV channels I really like, so I kept showing for so long, well, there is a price to pay if you're famous," he joked.
In fact, refused to call the greatest crisis of his life, insisting that nothing bad can always be worse.
"I do not think it was the biggest crisis in life, because life is like that only, is unpredictable and am taking positive way.'ve Not lost faith in anything, because I am very optimistic," he said.
"I always try to see the good in everything and that gives me strength. Even when I missed in the London Olympics, quarter finals, I said 'do not lose heart, God has his own plans. Actually, life just happens , you have to accept any challenge you face and become stronger, "he said.
We have already lost a couple of trips exposure and not be there for the Asian Championships next month after giving national testing a fault. Vijender, if selected, he will be seen in action only at the World Championships in October.
When asked if he feels intimidated by the scrutiny invited by the scandal, Vijender said, "I've never been scared Scrutiny because I had detractors all my life."
"Even at the peak of my performance, my skills were questioned by a lot of people. Do not mind that and I can not get affected because it's not my job. My job is to train hard and deliver results in tournaments and that's the way it always will be for me, because that is the best way to deal with the criticism, "he added.
"My grandmother often said 'Log unhi Badnaam ko karte hain naam jinka Hota Hai" (evil people who only have a name) and I believe that. My family and my wife stood by me like a rock during this crisis. Archana I married two years ago, life has just begun and there she was, leaning over. "
Vijender also thanked his fans, saying his adulation formed a crucial part of your support system.
"I am also grateful to my fans, who ignore everything that was said in the media about me. Many messages of support I have from them. Yeah, I was faced with a challenge, but I would say that God is kind that he gave me a system support like this, "he said.
"It's a closed chapter for me. Just want to concentrate on everything I do in the ring."

text: In this study, A Gasoline Passenger car (Euro IV) was experimentally investigated for performance and emissions on three different fuels i.e. Gasoline, (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and DME (Di-methyl ether) blend with concentration of 20% by mass in LPG (DME20). In particular, emission characteristics (including Hydrocarbon, CO, NOx and CO2) over the Modified Indian Driving Cycle (MIDC) and fuel economy were investigated at the Vehicle Emission Laboratory (VEL) at the CSIR- Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehardun, India. The experimental results showed that Vehicle comply with Euro IV legislation on gasoline and LPG fuel showed higher NOx Emissions on DME 20 fuel. LPG kit was reconfigured for DME and LPG blend to bring down the emissions within the specified emission limits. The Emission values observed for DME20 were 0.635 g/km (CO), 0.044 g/km (THC), and 0.014 g/km (NOx) against the Euro IV limits of 1.0 g/km, 0.1 g/km and 0.08 g/km, respectively. The vehicle driveability over the Modified Indian Driving Cycle (MIDC) was comparable for DME 20 with gasoline and LPG fuel and vehicle could achieve the maximum acceleration and speed of the MIDC. Keywords: Di-Methyl Ether (DME), SI Engine, LPG and DME Blend, Euro IV Emission, Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), LPG Kit

24 Why is it Important to Train Our Subject Matter Experts? Why is it important to train our Subject Matter Experts (SME s)? SME s are our most important resource and the key to our program success. Providing training for our SME s allows us to Thank them for their efforts and to convey how much they are valued. SME s have the opportunity for venting and in turn what results is improved communication. Providing training for our SME s builds stakeholder support/teamwork and ultimately strengthens our Culture of Compliance. 5
25 Learning and Development Systems (LaDS) All Employee Training 6
26 Legal Department Training NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training ITC s Legal Department provided Audit witness training prior to our external Audit: A few of the Audit interview tips included the following: Smile be pleasant and agreeable Pause take a moment to formulate your answer. You will not be judged on how quickly you respond but on the content of your response. If the question is not clear, ask for clarification. Respond fully to the question, but do not embellish. The sequence followed by many successful witnesses when they are being questioned: LISTEN-STOP-BREATH-THINK-ANSWER 7
27 NERC Compliance Department Training How to Think Like an Auditor NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training The intent of this training was to get participants to: Think about risks and controls Look at the requirements from a compliance point of view and determine the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance. Think about documentation and evidence to ensure that stacking of evidence is being performed. Be familiar with auditor sampling tools like a Random Sample Generator (RAT-STATS) 8
28 How To Think Like an Auditor NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training Thinking in Terms of Risks and Controls In all businesses there are risks that exist and that need to be identified and addressed (via controls) in order to prevent or minimize losses. In many cases the NERC Reliability Standards / Requirements are controls to address identified risks to the BES. 9
29 How To Think Like an Auditor NERC Compliance Department Training Evidence Evidence is in essence the physical manifestation of your controls. Required evidence is indicated many times in the body of the requirements. However, additional evidence will probably be needed to substantiate this evidence. Evidence needs to be related to the requirement for which you are presenting it and it needs to be complete and sufficient to support your position. Stacking of evidence: stronger evidence with weaker evidence or broader evidence with more specific evidence. 10
30 Developing an Effective RSAW NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training The intent of this training was to get participants to: Be aware of the purpose of the RSAWs. Reference and identify evidence consistently using the defined nomenclature. Ensure that their narratives contain information necessary to answer the question being asked and show compliance. Define the roles and responsibilities of the Standard Owners. 11
31 Developing an Effective RSAW NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training An RSAW is used to: Present clear and concise narratives that explain how a registered entity is compliant with a standard and/or requirement Identify documentation and evidence that demonstrates compliance Provide an auditor with their first impression of the registered entity 12
32 Developing an Effective RSAW NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training Examples of how to identify documentation using the defined nomenclature: SCH = Schedules (e.g. SCH_2010 Summer DE Outage Schedule for SE MI) ARG = Agreements (e.g. ARG_MISO FAC-010 PA Agreement) Affix a numeric value after the nomenclature of each document if there is more than one type of the same documentation in a RSAW 1_FW:Re Scheduled Outages 2_ITC Base Rating Changes 13
33 OATI webcompliance User Training NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training OATI webcompliance provides ITC the following: A complete tracking system pre-loaded with all NERC and Regional Reliability Standards. The system is a database that contains tracking records arranged by Standard and is set up to enable documentation to be loaded to the requirement level. Compliance documentation management contained in a secure central repository for easy Audit and Spot Check preparation. The ability to archive compliance documentation to assist in the efforts of meeting data retention requirements. 14
34 OATI webcompliance User Training NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training The intent of this training was to get participants to: Be trained on any new features and or enhancements to the OATI webcompliance system Assist in determining if any enhancements are needed to improve the usage of the OATI webcompliance system as it is or if there is a need to expand or add new features Be proficient in the use of the OATI webcompliance system to better facilitate the Self-Certification Review Process 15

36 Self-Certification Review Process NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training RSAWs are completed and collection of the supporting documentation to show compliance with the requirements of the NERC Standards. The NERC Compliance Department reviews the completed RSAW and supporting documentation and provides an Assessment Report to the Standard Owner. The Assessment Report would contain comments, suggestions, action items and sometimes additional data is requested. 17
37 Self-Certification Review Process NERC Standard Owner and Subject Matter Expert Training Identifying the Standard Owner for NERC Standards assigns a point of contact of whom would then select their team of Subject Matter Experts to field questions from the Auditors and to respond to data requests for audits and spot checks. Completion of the RSAW s and collection of supporting evidence are kept current of which makes preparation for an Audit or Spot Check more efficient. Compliance Review meetings with Compliance Group Reviewer and Standard Owners enable the practicing of being interviewed and responding to questions like those posed during an audit. Assessment Reports often include additional data requests and this allows Standard Owners and their teams to practice responding to data requests. 18
38 Training Don ts! Don t plan a 3 hour training session intended to cover 4 or more topics! Don t plan a training session to close to a holiday! Don t plan a training session to early or late in the day! Don t cover an important topic only once! Don t cover topics for a training session that only a portion of the Subject Matter Experts need to know about! Don t limit training for offsite SME s to video conference WebEx! 19
39 Training Do s! Do plan your training sessions in 1 to 2 hour blocks. Allow an 1 hour for each topic to present the material and answer questions! Do plan your training sessions so that a holiday or compliance activities are not a factor! Do plan your training sessions mid-morning or mid-afternoon! Do plan having continuous training topics to ensure the intent and implementation of the training is consistent! Do have a participant sign-in sheet! Do have snacks and refreshments for 2 hour block training sessions. Make sure to indicate in the training invite that snacks and refreshments will be available! 20
40 Questions? 21
41 Internal Compliance Training Philip Propes November 13, 2012
43 Three Compliance Training Basics 1. Be thorough but don t overwhelm! Is this an awareness training or a graduate course? 2. Train based on NEED, not simply to check boxes. I m only sitting through this mess so we ll be compliant. 3. Training should fit the intended audience! Wait I have a CCA from an RBAM, in an ESP and PSP, behind an AP, requiring a CVA, maybe requiring a TFE, that might lead to a NAVAPS, due to a SDT acting on a NOPR, to fend off an APT from PRC or DPRK? 3
44 Be Thorough, but Don t Overwhelm! If your training includes a syllabus, you ve probably gone too far. If you send home progress reports for parent signatures, you ve missed the point. If your entire security program is delivered on a single slide, you re likely missing something. If you ve decided to cut costs by combining motivational posters and compliance awareness training, you re in trouble. 4
45 5
46 Train for NEED, not for Compliance! CIP Training Checklist: DUE DATE: PROCEDURES COMPLETE Immediate Provide enough cool training gadgets to trick Kevin. X Regularly Lie to Shon and say he really is a good looking man to win him over. X Maybe Tuesday? Copy and paste the standards into PowerPoint. X After above Assume people will happily read the PowerPoint. X All the time Simply believe them when they say, "Yep, I did it." X When able Keep a few training records handy, and hope that's what they request. X 6
47 Train Based on the Audience! 7
48 Train Based on the Audience! If a train left Chicago on Thursday going 30 mph, and another left Orlando on Friday going 10 mph, when would they intersect and why would you care? If you issue a directive on a Saturday afternoon you must first mute the football game. Firewall rules should be set to deny all, specific to port and protocol, unless you can name the capitals of all 50 states. All visitors must be threatened with bodily harm before escorting in the PSP. Reliability systems MUST be monitored at all times, except when lengthy breaks are really, really necessary. 8
49 Train Based on the Audience! The Employee Hears: YOU MUST NOT EVER, EVER, EVER TAILGATE! The Employee Thinks: 9
51 Key Compliance Training Strategies Focus on what is needed for specific types of employees. For example, excessive cyber security training for accounting staff is unnecessary. Tailor training to the recipient. ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL! Your firewall guys don t need to be trained on three way communication, and your operators don t need to know deny by default! Develop, provide, validate, and track your training in a uniform, repeatable way. Don t reinvent the wheel each year! 11
52 Key Compliance Training Strategies Put the training in understandable terms. Describe the rationale behind the activity. Make it PRACTICAL! Think broadly but train narrowly. Consider all facets of your program. Develop training on each facet. Match impacted and/or responsible personnel with each facet. For example, consider your physical security program in its entirety, develop brief modules on each facet, and assign. Security guards are trained to monitor; staff is trained to comply. 12
53 Key Compliance Training Strategies Finally, and most importantly, FORGET THE STANDARDS!* Your corporate security program, for example, should be the focus of your training efforts. A well crafted training program is standards agnostic! Standards may change, but your training may remain the same if appropriately crafted. It s your job to develop solid programs to meet current and future needs, and to train on those programs. Review your program and link it to the standards, don t review the standards and create a program to satisfy them. *Understanding that some specific requirements have illogical training needs! 13

There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Finnish hip-hop/ambient/downtempo group. Members: Kaliyuga Pro (music), Square & Iwere (words).
2) California-based funk fiends Surya Sardonicus (drums/vocals), Chase Larue (guitar/vocals), & Drew Mohr (bass/vocals), whose psychedelic blues-rock sound has been proclaimed neuroplasticjazz. They currently play frequently in Humboldt County, joined often by Branden Lewis (trumpet) and Alfredo Sauce (vocals) at such venues as Six Rivers Brewery, Blondie's and Mazzoti's.
3) Children of the Sun was the first of the recording put out by Universal Justice and the Black Artists' Group (B.A.G.) collective out of St. Louis featuring Oliver Lake. Whereas the later releases of this loose-knit group might have some comparisons with mass-marketed music, OFAMFA is in the territory of unique recordings; free jazz and poetry.
