By overseeing the investigation of the candidate's background, the commissioner guarantees the compliance of registrations of professionals that are subject to the regulatory body. Once done, a permit to practice is granted to those who are registered. Registration to a regulatory body is required for many professions. It is necessary to obtain a license to practice as an engineer, a nurse, or an architect, for example. The applicant's experience and passing scores on examinations determine whether or not they are eligible for licensure.

Regulatory bodies have implemented several mechanisms such as admission, continuing education, discipline and professional inspections to guarantee the integrity of their members and earn the public’s trust. Learning that your workplace will be undergoing a professional inspection may often trigger a sense of anxiety.

A regulatory body may quickly and effortlessly handle subscriptions of its members, renewals, billing, complaints, website, ongoing training, public information, etc., thanks to artificial intelligence. All professional information, required studies, ethics and investigations, committees, and events are also updated and made available to the users. The use of AI knows no limits.

Professional inspection, like all other fields of work, had to adjust to the new standards established by the government as a result of the pandemic. The apparent solution was to transfer job tasks online and do them from a distance.

The security of personal information in regulatory bodies is a serious issue to consider. We also discuss artificial intelligence in the service of regulatory bodies in another article. After all of the high-profile computer security incidents this year, it's natural to be concerned about data security within regulatory bodies.

E-transformation consists of fundamentally changing our approach for the better — with advanced analytics, machine learning, and innovation coming to revolutionize the quality of the service we provide.

Continuing education serves as a development driver for regulatory bodies, in addition to maintaining public safety. As a result, every regulatory body must provide training to its members, as part of its "public protection" mandate. The general public must be able to put their faith in the specialists to whom they are referred. In this light, the regulatory body controlling all professions, a total of 46 in Québec, have a responsibility to encourage and enable continuing education for their members. Some regulatory bodies require a certain number of hours of continuing education, while others allow their members to choose of their own accord.

Regulatory bodies have a variety of needs that can be optimally satisfied with online collaboration tools. On one hand, they require a strong and agile digital solution that allows them to easily manage activities pertaining to user experience. On the other hand, with so many employees now working remotely, digital transformation becomes even more critical when dealing with regulatory compliance concerns and conducting investigations that depend on the use of data to assure maximum accuracy. Here is how regulatory bodies can benefit from collaboration tools.

Virtual conference, a term we are all too familiar with now, thanks to the pandemic situation that has made it necessary. A virtual conference is a meeting held over the internet with the help of virtual meeting software and relevant hardware like speakers, microphones, and a computer system. Most virtual meeting apps are also available for use from a smartphone or a web application.

The success of non-profits, organizations, associations, and regulatory bodies largely depends on membership renewal, but prior enrollment does not necessarily translate to continued membership. It can be difficult to convince members to shell out for fees, especially on the tail end of the pandemic.

We often believe, falsely, that CRM is only for companies. However, professional associations and regulated bodies have similar needs. From managing members to communication and renewing memberships, you only need to replace members with clients and memberships with sales to see the parallels.
