For many organisations there is an ever-increasing need to reduce cost.
Still, it’s as important as ever not to overreact. Failure to understand the impact of choices made now will squander an opportunity to add real value. It will also risk inflicting lasting damage that will make recovery needlessly difficult, and all amid a crisis of unknown duration.
This e-book from Hudson&Hayes provides a pragmatic approach to optimising operational costs in times of radical change and uncertainty. Amid the unusual conditions created by COVID-19, this approach is especially valuable.

DOES16 London - Pat Reed - Mind the GAAP: A Playbook for Agile AccountingGene Kim
Mind the GAAP: A Playbook for Agile Accounting
Pat Reed, Principal Consultant, iHoriz Inc.
With disruptive technology advances, software assets play an increasingly important role in creating competitive advantage through effectively managing business software assets.
As organizations leverage agile practices to deliver better customer value faster, they consistently fall into process traps that block success because agile labor cost accounting is misunderstood and misreported, impacting taxation, higher volatility in Profit and Loss (P&L) statements, and sometimes even dramatic, unnecessary staff cuts in an economy where talent retention is vital to innovation.
This session shares a practical playbook to avoid common pitfalls and gain awareness of what you can do to evolve accounting and reporting practices to leverage the financial advantage of agile and benefit from the significantly increased tax savings and bottomline benefits available with agile capitalization.
This session will unravel the pitfalls and benefits of agile capitalization and explain how to appropriately interpret and apply generally accepted accounting standard (GAAP SOP 98-1 and ASC 350-40) so your organization can increase its agile adoption to deliver more business value faster to customers.
DevOps Enterprise Summit London 2016
Business must be the major driver of innovation and sustainability in our society if we are to avoid a “perfect storm” of resource scarcity, climate change, and pollution. The “triple bottom line” concept is a response to this need, but its use is limited because it does not address the competitive strategy of the firm. A strategy-based balanced scorecard system aligned with principles of the Triple Bottom Line offers a way to accomplish social and environmental goals while integrating them fully with financial performance and competitive advantage.

Sustainability reporting has emerged as a critical tool for organizations to transparently communicate their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.
Aligning ESG with Corporate Strategy to Gain a Competitive AdvantageLuke Holland
Organizations can no longer choose to prioritize ESG. Sustainable plans are at the very center of the policies of those who wish to be competitive and profitable. However, the optimal strategy for ESG integration services differs based on the business. Furthermore, if ESG strategies are not evaluated holistically, they may clash with other operational goals. Companies are utilizing the strategy and actions of stakeholders willing to back their vision of a sustainable framework by putting the most successful practices based on brand values in place.
When it comes to sustainability reporting, companies may feel like they’re in an increasingly uncomfortable public-private vice. On one side, consumers and shareholders are pressuring organizations to be better corporate citizens and increase transparency. Governments are establishing more reporting requirements as well, which will inevitably multiply through initiatives such as the recent Sustainable Innovation Forum at COP21.
No matter how you look at it, the call for climate action is coming
in surround sound. Integrated reporting is becoming more and
more mainstream.
The good news is that sustainability programs and reporting can
boost consumer confidence, shareholder esteem — and a company’s bottom line.

Exploring Patterns of Connection with Social Dreaming
Setting Business Sustainability Goals
1.
2. On the face of it, setting ambitious business sustainability targets
looks great – it shows commitment to building a better world and
delivering customer and stakeholder goals. However, companies
need to think very hard about how they set, communicate, deliver
and report on these targets.
This is especially important now that mandatory carbon reporting is
here. All too often, instead of one harmonised system which
efficiently coordinates and reports, companies rely on ad hoc,
disjointed processes that suck in scarce resources which could be
better spent on performance delivery.
Jonathan Churchman-Davies
Managing Consultant, Sustainability and Energy Efficiency
8. It’s no surprise that the best way to set a business sustainability
target that can be delivered is from basic planning data. The
process should start by listing specific company activities and the
associated sustainability issues. This list will include resources
consumed, interested and affected stakeholders, wastes
generated, impacts and exposure to risk. Following on, issues can
then be prioritised and linked to improvement plans. Well-
formulated plans will include specific delivery targets.
12. The last thing to mention is how to communicate your business
sustainability targets. While targets should reflect reality, they
should also be living numbers. They should be plotted into the
future, with an actual performance updated at least yearly. They
should include commentary on successes and failures. Why
failures? Because honest descriptions of failures and corrective
actions are powerful evidence of an in-depth and ethical approach.
At the end of the day, isn’t that what your clients and stakeholders
want?
