The #1 issue facing businesses is a need to innovate. Innovation is fundamentally about learning and how to keep your rate of learning (as individuals and as organizations) greater than the rate of change and greater than your competition.
We think (and research supports this) that it is time for a "Paradigm Shift" in talent development & learning. The need for a strategic and systematic approach to talent development is already underway in many high performing organizations - are you ready for these sweeping, even disruptive trends?
This presentation covers the latest trends and what we see as "next" practices emerging and how we, at the Business Learning Institute are working to help CPA firms, corporations, government and non-profits with a new approach to talent development and learning designed to get two things - business results and engaged employees who are willing to give you their discretionary efforts!

Curriculum design by BLI and AICPA
usingTop 5 Competencies for future
from CPA Horizons research and job
levels from the BLI “Bounce” Model.
Leadership and Communications
were combined and the 5th category
expanded to include practice
specialties for firms and functional
areas for corporate.
Examples would include: Corporate
Accounting, FP&A, divisional
reporting, shared services, etc.
CPA Firms would have audit, tax,
industry specialties.
These technical areas would have
specific curriculums designed to
meet their specific technical
competency needs.

Your Competitive Advantage
“It is hard to plan for the long-term future when
you don’t know what is going to happen five
minutes from now.
Today, a competitive edge based solely on material
advantage is thin and temporary; the edge quickly
becomes the margin.The ability to define the edge,
and the ultimate competitive advantage, is found
in the smarts, heart and ingenuity of your people.
That’s your powerhouse.Tap that, train it, focus it
and mobilize it; now you’ve engaged a network
and inspired a sustainable shift.
19. www.blionline.org
How can we help you keep your L>C?
• Strategy & Alignment
• Curriculum tied to strategy
• I2a Leadership Academy
• BLI Leadership Express - on-

In a period of rapid change and
increasing complexity, the winners
will be those organizations who
can keep their rate of learning
greater than the rate of change
and greater than their
competition. –Tom Hood
