Leadership Capital - The Power of Delivering ResultsDavender Gupta
In today's world, too many entrepreneurs promise but fail to deliver. Being able to consistently ship is an asset that will set you apart from the average and help you get more and better clients.
This competitive advantage is something I call "Leadership Capital": the wealth embedded in your ability to effectively translate ideas into real-world results.

Project managers are facing several challenges including high stress, lack of trust and motivation among team members, and an inability to utilize human potential. This is causing problems like attrition. To address this, project managers must balance managing projects with keeping teams engaged. They should involve teams in planning, focus on roles and responsibilities, delegate effectively while maintaining accountability, actively listen and build relationships, make timely decisions, handle mistakes gracefully, and celebrate wins with the extended team. This will help unlock human potential and optimize project outcomes.

Leadership that builds trust can raise inspiration to higher levels.
Here are the key lessons learned from this chapter on mergers and acquisitions:
- Cultural fit is as important as strategic fit when merging companies. The cultures need to be aligned.
- Integration of the acquired company needs to happen quickly, within 90 days, to avoid conflicts from different management strategies.
- Don't assume the acquired company's management is inferior - place talent managers where they fit best.
- Avoid spending too much to purchase a company that may never be paid off.
- Both accepting and resisting individuals from the acquired company should be considered based on their skills, not just their view of change.
1) The document discusses key areas that organizations should focus on to become remarkable, including treating people well, attracting and retaining talent, and promoting a culture of ownership.
2) Remarkable organizations create growth opportunities for all employees through formal leadership roles and spaces for self-directed learning.

The document outlines elements needed for an innovative culture, including leadership, teamwork, rewards, learning opportunities, and corporate buy-in. It provides examples of leadership from various historical periods and cultures, and distinguishes between leadership and management. The goal of leading for innovation is cultivating people and a growth mindset.

Will your firm thrive or just survive? Anticipation - The critical competency...Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
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.

Five leadership lenses for agile successRowan Bunning
Sense Making lens - what is the problem contexts and appropriate management approach?
Systems Thinking lens - what should our organisation be optimised for and what are the dynamics?
Lean Thinking lens - how is our org. design relative to a customer value focus?
Cultural Analysis lens - what are our implicit beliefs shaping behaviour?
Self-Leadership lens - how do I show up as a leader to deal with complexity?
As presented at #sglon18
We tend to think of “innovation” in terms of new technology – gadgets, hardware, new apps, and software. But true innovation more often comes in the form of new business models, workflows, service offerings, and office and staffing patterns. This session will center on those innovations that are significantly impacting our firms and our clients. You never know where innovation might sprout!
This session was produced for the DCPA15 Conference in Las Vegas.
This document summarizes a presentation given at the AICPA EDMAX Committee meeting on November 10, 2010 in New Orleans, LA. The presentation discusses the rapid pace of change in business and society driven by technology and globalization. It emphasizes the need for new skills like collaboration, strategic thinking, and social media use. Examples are given of how one CPA organization used social media to build relationships and engage members. The presentation concludes by encouraging CPAs to get started with social media to navigate changes in the profession.
This document discusses how experience of wholeness can bring out the best in people, propel innovation, create new life, and eclipse old patterns in an easy way. It provides examples of business results from using this approach, including increased productivity, engagement, and stock prices. The document then examines why high engagement is important for competitive advantage and discusses research showing that people are dying to be more engaged. It explores how appreciative inquiry addresses essentials of change management like managing transition, novelty, and continuity. Overall, the document advocates for using strengths-based leadership and appreciative inquiry to tap into human potential.

Future of Learning - innovative new learning formats for accounting and finan...Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
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.
Impact of Firm Wide Adoption - The Anticipatory Organization Accounting and F...Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
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.

What do next generation leaders say they need to be 'future ready'? This report is from 200+ next generation leaders attending the #AICPA_EDGE Conference in Las Vegas in August, 2016.
Next Gen leaders will be called to lead in a different environment than many leaders of the past. These times of exponential change will require a different skill set. They will be leading in transformational and adaptive times which require new skills and new practices.
This report highlights top challenges, top skills, insights from the session and more.
These polls were integrated during a presentation on "The Future Ready CPA" where we covered the 5 C's - Context, Certainty, Capacity, Competency, and Core Purpose & Values.
We are living in “exponential times” where the size, scale and scope of change is incredible. That means there are incredible opportunities for those who can see through the fog of uncertainty and anticipate what’s next. The biggest opportunity is to harness the wisdom of our older generations with the fresh perspectives of the tech-savvy younger generations. The next generation of leaders is enthusiastically ready to have a seat at the table. The future is not created; the future is co- created. Let’s get to work!
“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.” - Daniel Hood, Editor-in-Chief of Accounting Today (when recognizing AOAF as a 2016 Top Product in Learning
The competency of “anticipation” actually includes a number of competencies included in many of the top companies of today.
Across these models, you'll see a common theme of “strategic thinking," "innovation" and “leading change."
Many of these organizations build (and validate) fantastic competency models and know what they want people to do.
The top five skills and competencies identified for CPAs, accounting and finance professionals are:
1. Strategic and critical thinking;
2. Communication;
3. Anticipating and serving evolving needs;
4. Inspiring and motivating others;
5. Collaboration and mobilizing consensus
The beauty of the Anticipatory Organization model is that it offers a clear process that makes highly-abstract leadership competencies attainable and trainable. Using nano-leanring in very short 3-4 minute single concept videos (imagine a series of shirt Ted Talks) with rapid application exercises to immediately apply the concepts to the job, and visual job aids to reinforce and remember the learning. Add a team implementation and collaboration guide and you can create a shared language and culture of being anticipatory and proactive.
If an organization wants to make "strategic thinking" or "innovation" a core competency, we can provide clear, trainable activities that can be targeted to a wide range of learners (from individual contributors to senior leadership). We provide the bridge between the competency model and the desired observable behaviors.

It May be Time to Reinvent Your Firm - CPAFMA National Practice Management Co...Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
The document discusses the need for CPA firms to reinvent themselves through innovation. It notes that while most firms see the need for innovation, few have identified clear innovation priorities or developed an innovative culture. The document provides strategies for firms to develop an innovation mindset, including understanding trends, prioritizing innovation initiatives, and cultivating skills like strategic thinking. It emphasizes that innovation must be a firm-wide, continuous effort to develop new offerings that create value for both existing and new clients.
Recent research says that the business environment for CPAs and their clients will be characterized by “unprecedented, massive and highly accelerated change” through 2025. To thrive in this new age of hyper-change and growing uncertainty, it is now an imperative to learn a new competency--how to accurately anticipate the future. The key to success in this fast-changing environment is to learn how to move from being reactive to proactive and flip from crisis manager to an opportunity manager. Tom will show how to explore new value added services and position their practices for success in a rapidly changing world.

How to Accelerate Growth, Innovation, and High Performance for CPAs, Account...Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA
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.”
What does innovation look like in a CPA Firm? How are leading CPA firms creating a culture of innovation?
We are in a fast-paced world where growth/change is exponential not incremental. The CPA profession has been late adopters of change and “anticipation” is a missing skill set for many CPAs. We will soon be living in a world where global competition and automation will be performing basic accounting tasks currently being performed in our firms today. Tom Hood, Executive Director of the MACPA will lead a discussion on where accounting firms
fit into a rapidly changing world. Hood, along with Jim Powers, CEO of Crowe Horwath LLP and Bill Balhoff, Managing Director of Postlethwaite & Netterville will explore how firms can maintain their competitive edge through inNEWvation.
The CPA Vision 2011 is the report from the AICPA from a project to create a comprehensive grassroots vision for the future of the CPA Profession.

State of Accounting for Linked-in Influencer Series #MyIndustry
Big Waves of Change, Oceans of Opportunity
These big waves of change are the result of a “perfect storm” of sorts -- the convergence of three “hard trends” of exponential technological innovation, the demographic shift as baby boomers retire, and globalization. Key challenges facing accounting and finance professionals are automation and digital transformation, succession and talent shortages, a “brain drain” as experienced people retire, business model changes, and the increasingly VUCA world (that’s volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity) in which we find ourselves.
Several recent studies (from WEF, Oxford, McKinsey and MIT) report that accounting, auditing and tax are among the occupations most at risk for complete automation within the next 20 years.
As a result, the accounting and finance profession is rapidly approaching what Andy Grove, retired CEO of Intel Corporation, described as a “strategic inflection point,” -- “a time in the life of a business when its fundamentals are about to change. That change can mean an opportunity to rise to new heights. But it may just as likely signal the beginning of the end.” This is where there are two major pathways: doing business as usual, or embracing and adapting to the new. At the moment these are fairly close together, but they will soon diverge into a growing gap between growth and success, or entropy and decline.
“You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf.” - Jon Kabat-Zinn
To take advantage of these oceans of opportunity, accounting and finance professionals will need to learn how to ride these big waves or risk being crushed by their frequency and force. The critical thing to know is that what got you here, won’t get you there. Business as usual simply won’t work.
Here are six ways to learn how to ride these big waves of change now and in the future:
1. Embrace digital: Learn how to elevate and accelerate your job using technology and to race with the machines, not against them.
2. Anticipate: Learn the critical competency of anticipation. Only those who constantly try to anticipate change will survive when change happens.
3. Collaborate: The collaboration curve is quickly replacing the experience curve. Who you know is replacing what you know.
4. Learning is the next competitive advantage: As Fast Company editor Robert Safian wrote, “the most important skill is the ability to acquire new skills.”
5. Protect the core: When everything is changing, it is important to know what should not change. Purpose and values for individuals and organizations should serve as that anchor or grounding.
6. Make time for the future. Your time and those of your people will be your number one challenge, and nothing will change if you are overwhelmed and too busy.
The hard trends are forming these big waves of disruption and change. Surf's Up - Are you ready?
What are the Top Competencies (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities) needed by CPAs, Accounting and Finance Professionals today?
The Business Learning Institute shares its latest research and correlates it with other leading global research (Conference Board, AICPA, CGMA, IFAC, CPA Canada, Burrus Research, Bersin by Deloitte). These skills were identified and then surveyed across over 1,000 finance and accounting professionals to identify the top five skills needed today.
In our survey work at the Business Learning Institute (http://www.blionline.org) we found that the top five skills ranked by survey respondents covered 75% or everyone's top five list, providing a great starting point for skills development and targeting in talent development.
1. Strategic and Critical Thinking
2. Communication
3. Anticipating and serving evolving needs
4. Inspiring and motivating others
5. Collaboration and mobilizing consensus
BLI also developed a framework, called The Bounce to describe the career trajectory of today's finance and accounting professional. The Bounce is the natural career trajectory for accounting and finance professionals. It talks about the process of acquiring technical mastery in the early career and beginning to supplement wit the critical skills (competencies) needed for long-term success. BLI has been leading the training and development of accounting and finance with these ‘success skills’ for eighteen years.
The Business Learning Institute (BLI) is the largest talent development and and learning provider to CPAs, accounting and finance professionals in the US. We bring our leading approach to ‘success skills’ and competency-based curriculums to the leading organizations, public companies and CPA firms all over North America.
A recent HBR special edition headline said "Got to war for talent", but how. BLI has developed a guidance and a six step process to give you new weapons to win in the war for talent.
Our Magnetic Firm framework outlines the critical elements of a magnetic culture and our six step Talent and Leadership Development framework show you how to develop a winning career and curriculum aligned to your overall firm strategy and objectives.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.

Position in the energy network is four times the predictor of performance compared
to position in the information or influence networks."

Employee Engagement
Gallup studies proved that corporations with higher

38. You are probably reaching the rider, BUT
… are you reaching the elephant? How?
www.bizlearning.net
41. Lessons from Switch:
How to Change Things When Change is Hard
Each person has an emotional Elephant side and a rational Rider side.
You’ve got to reach both. And you’ve also got to clear the way for them to
succeed. In short, you must do three things:
• Direct the rider
• Find the bright spots
• Script the critical moves
• Point to the destination
• Motivate the elephant
• Find the feeling
• Shrink the change
• Grow your people
• Shape the path
• Tweak the environment
• Build habits
• Rally the herd
www.bizlearning.net
42. It is more important to have your team:
• Thinking strategically than having a strategic plan.
• Understanding the direction and foundation (vision, values
& strategic intent) of the firm than having a detailed
five-year plan.
• Engaging in the firm’s future as a whole organization, not
just the partners.
• Aligning and on the same page than working
independently in their own silos.
• Engaging and participating than being idle observers.
• Focusing on the future than questioning the past.
Our 12a: Insights to Action framework allows you to engage and align
your firm and engage your people in the meaningful work of your
organization. This increases buy-in and discretionary effort that
defines high performing organizations.
