Samantha Hammock, CLO and vice president of American Express Bank, said, "This past year we've really been focusing on, 'How do we do that and make the training still effective?' We've been focused on leveraging technologies as well as our internal systems and solutions to be able to get the right training to the right people."

Kevin Nieman, CLO of First Horizon National Corporation, said, "We are focused on proactively measuring and shaping the culture of our organization to adapt to a complex, ever-changing marketplace. This means developing a strategic partnership with each line of business to ensure employees have the skill to leverage the strengths of the culture, so that it's easier to execute their strategy.  When the culture and the strategy align, business results follow."
