BLI launched our revolutionary new learning system, The Anticipatory Organization™: Accounting and Finance Edition on August 6, 2015 designed to teach accounting and finance professionals how to anticipate future trends and create game changing opportunities. It offers easy-to-apply, job-specific lessons for identifying and acting on transformative change. This exciting program has met with rave reviews and press coverage by the national accounting and finance media like, Accounting Today, Journal of Accountancy, CGMA Magazine, Inside Public Accounting, CPA Practice Advisor, and more. For more information visit www.blionline.org/ao Burrus has been helping stakeholders to see and shape the future for more than 30 years. The Anticipatory Organization: Accounting and Finance Edition synthesizes his approach into an “accelerated learning system” that includes a series of short, single-concept videos featuring Burrus that presents the model’s core principles. Each video is followed by rapid-application activities that teach the learner to apply the concept to everyday activities. The program has a total of twenty-eight lessons in four modules and takes about ten hours to complete. It is priced at $295 and quantity discounts are available. The need for future-focused strategies has never been greater. In a recent national survey, 76 percent of small business owners say their CPAs are not proactive, and 75 percent have changed firms because their CPAs are providing reactive services rather than proactive advice. Another recent survey found that only 6 percent of CFOs, controllers and management accountants say they are future-ready. The competencies that are in most demand are strategic thinking, anticipation, innovation, creativity, understanding trends, communication, and business acumen. All of these competencies are covered in this program. This exciting new approach to learning has been customized by Burrus with input from a customer co-creation group gathered by the MACPA and the BLI. The group – representing CPAs in small to large firms, CFOs, controllers, young professionals, and other segments across the profession – has worked with the Burrus team to gather accounting- and finance-specific examples that have been built into the learning platform. This transformative learning approach will help CPAs be proactive and anticipatory in less time than traditional professional development programs. The result is a powerful tool that will help everyone on your team know what’s next, develop opportunities, shape the future of the organization, and accelerate its success.

MACPA and the Business Learning Institute release the first nano-learning course for CPAs, accounting and finance professionals that meets the new CPE standards.
NASBA and the AICPA approved the revisions to the Statement on Standards for Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Programs (Standards) effective September 1, 2016. Among the most significant changes to the Standards is the addition of two new instructional delivery methods: nano learning and blended learning.
The Maryland Association of CPAs and its Business Learning Institute believe that Learning is THE only competitive advantage in this rapidly changing world. They have been on the forefront of learning for the past ten years. Since passing nano-learning in 2015 at the Maryland State Board of Public Accounting, they have been integrating new formats of learning to make learning continuous, engaging and ultimately transformative. The Anticipatory Organization: Accounting and Finance Edition is THE First nano-learning program in North America for accounting and finance professionals. Winner of the Accounting Today 2016 Product of the Year in the learning category. This program combines nano learning format (three to four minute single concept videos) with rapid application exercises to accelerate learning of complex competencies in less times than traditional CPE / CPD programs.
MACPA and its Business Learning Institute have pioneered new methods of learning including second life (CPA Island), remote collaboration via the ThinkTank platform, participation engagement via conferences.io and their #MBSN Management by Sticky Notes collaboration process.
Here are five ways we are changing up learning:
Social;
Mobile / nano, or “Just When You Need It” learning;
Cloud: In what we call the four Cs of talent development, the AICPA Navigator allows us to offer Competencies, Career Path, and a Curriculum on a Cloud-based learning platform that allows firms and companies to move their talent development to a strategic and systematic approach;
Collaborative: MBSN (Management By Sticky Notes), Conferences.io, and the ThinkTank Collaboration platform are highly engaging ways of increasing learning through involvement (see our post on LinkedIn);
Competency-based learning: With our Bounce framework (which maps BLI programs to the new CGMA Competency framework) and our new program to develop a special self-directed action learning program to build a competency around anticipation and strategic thinking.Future of Learning - innovative new learning formats for accounting and finan...

This is the first accelerated learning system for accounting and finance professionals featuring nano-learning and rapid application tools. The Business Learning Institute and the Maryland Association of CPAs customized the learning system with a co-creation group working with Daniel Burrus. Accounting Today Magazine recognized this learning system as a 2016 Top Product in Learning.
This presentation covers the experience of firm-wide adoption of the Anticipatory Organization: Accounting and Finance Edition at several major organizations with focus on the first firm to adopt this for their entire firm. Joey Havens, Executive Partner of HORNE, LLP a Top 50 CPA Firm outlines the reasons he made the AOAF learning system a cornerstone of his Growth Mindset and implemented it across his entire workforce of almost 400 people. he also explains why he thinks an "anticipatory skill set is essential for today's accounting and finance professionals.
The Anticipatory Organization™ Model, created and developed by Daniel Burrus of Burrus Research, Inc., has changed how many of the world’s most successful businesses plan their future and accelerate growth. Now, Daniel Burrus is bringing what he calls the greatest missing competency – the ability to anticipate change – to CPAs, CFOs, controllers and management accountants. This model represents a new way of thinking, planning, and acting – a paradigm shift that’s required in a world of accelerating change, competition, and uncertainty.
This innovative learning system will jump start your ability to anticipate and learn critical competencies like strategic thinking, external awareness, vision, continuous learning, innovation, creativity, problem solving, prioritization, business acumen, decisiveness, influencing/persuading, emotional intelligence, consensus building, collaboration, inspiration, risk management, and immediately apply it to your own situation at work.

Today, the world of professional education, and accordingly the accounting profession, is migrating toward a competencies-based learning approach. But what are the most critical competencies for practitioners and firms to thrive in today’s ever changing, fast paced business environment?
Research from the Business Learning Institute identified the Top 5 Competencies for CPAs, accounting and financial professionals as:
1. Strategic & Critical Thinking
2. Communication
3. Anticipating and serving evolving needs
4. Inspiring and motivating others
5. Collaboration and mobilizing consensus
In addition, research from CPA.COM shows that only 8% of CPAs are future ready. Future Ready is the Is the capacity to be ANTICIPATORY (aware, predictive and adaptive) of emerging technology and trends in business, demographics, and the social environment impacting your organization and industry.
Together this group of skills and competencies have been researched with a leading global futurist who has put together an innovative learning system, the Anticipatory Organization: Accounting and Finance Edition which is being used to transform firm cultures to build and enhance proactive business advisor skills.
Most of us wish we had the power to predict future trends, and would benefit by learning tactics to do so. Daniel Burrus is one of the world’s leading technology forecasters and innovation experts and the featured keynoter speaker at this year’s DCPA16. He is globally recognized for his exceptional 30+ year record of accurately predicting how technological, social, and business forces converge to create untapped opportunities.
Joey Havens, Executive Partner at Horne, LLP (A top 50 CPA Firm) discusses how he has used the Anticipatory Organization as a foundational learning system throughout his firm. He is requiring his whole firm of 400+ professionals to take this and running collaboration sessions by practice areas to create group learning and a shared language around anticipatory thinking that is being applied inside the firm and outside with clients.
This presentation is from the July 20th, 2016 webcast by CPA.COM. CPA.com President and CEO, Erik Asgeirsson as he discusses the critical Anticipatory competency with Daniel Burrus, HORNE LLP executive partner Joey Havens and the CEO of the Maryland Association of CPAs and the Business Learning Institute, Tom Hood.

The # 1 challenge facing CPAs, Accounting and Finance Professionals is 'not enough time' who creates the equivalent of a gravitational pull of the past when it comes to changing their mindsets and thinking. How will we go from a historical perspective to a more future-focused, from rearview mirror to windshield and from being reactive to proactive?
Our latest research from the Business Learning Institute sows the critical competencies that will make a difference have not changed in the past seven years. What has changed is the gravitational pull has gotten worse as we enter what Josh Bersin calls the age of the 'overwhelmed employee'.
What we need is a new approach to learning these critical competencies. A blended approach that uses nano-learning nuggets (very short 2-3 minute single-concept videos), rapid application templates to apply each concept to the business, and a series of job aids and performance support tools to turn the learning into immediate on the job application. This is our award-winning Anticipatory Organization learning system by Burrus Research. In about one third of the time as traditional CPE, CPAs and accounting and finance professionals can learn the critical competencies of:
Anticipation; Strategic Thinking; External Awareness; Vision; Continuous Learning; Innovation ;Creativity; Problem Solving; Prioritization; Business Acumen; Decisiveness; Influencing/Persuading; Emotional Intelligence; Consensus Building; Collaboration; Inspiration; Risk Management; and Communication.
The Anticipatory Organization can support an entire cultural shift for an organization or team with the added implementation guide and collaboration tools. See more at http://www.blionline.org/ao
Our new MBA Express is another option to create or add a series of critical success skills to your technical training portfolio in on-site, on-line and on-demand learning formats. http://blionline.org/featured/8-hour-mba/
We believe we need new approaches and new tools to break the pull of the past and the inertia from 'overwhelmed employees'. These exciting new learning formats are one step in this direction.
Accounting Today Editor, Daniel Hood said this after selecting the Anticipatory Organization as a Top Product for 2016 in the Learning Category, “Everyone keeps telling accountants that they need to change their focus from the historic and the backward-looking, and to start being proactive and offering future-focused advice – but no one tells them how. The beauty of the Anticipatory Organization program is that it actually gives you a set of tools to harness the hard trends that are shaping the future, and use them to create new value for your firm and your clients.”
