The Bounce is our guide to maximizing career trajectories. The Business Learning Institute has researched the competencies needed for career success as a CPA, CGMA, and Finance / Accounting Professionals. The Bounce serves as a framework that builds a career ladder that shows the transition from technical mastery to leadership proficiency.
We start with a simple 5 x 5 matrix of competencies and job levels, adjust for specific needs and priorities of the organization and customize a curriculum that offers a blended approach to talent development. This can be expanded based on the sophistication and needs of the individual or organization.
The Bounce framework shows the progression of a career and helps answer the two biggest questions raised by top talent: 1) What does my career look like in your organization? 2) How will you help me advance in my career?
BLI can help design a curriculum based on competencies mapped to the job titles and progression along the bounce trajectory. Contact us for more information tom@macpa.org or pam@macpa.org
