Competencies for Accounting and Finance Professionals - 2016 Edition
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.
the BOUNCE - Maximizing Your Career Trajectory - AICPA EDGE Conference
In a world of constant change and increasing complexity, the winners will be those who can keep their rate of learning faster than the rate of change, both as individuals and as organizations. Tom will explain why Business Learning Institute developed the “bounce” as an organizing framework to help develop a strategic and systematic approach to sustain increased and collective rate of learning. The Bounce is all about trajectory (direction), alignment & acceleration. Make sure you’re in the ballgame to win.
There is a fundamental path to success for every CPA, we call the bounce. It is the shift from mentor to mentee, from technician to leader that happens at the manager job level. It shifts the focus from task specific work to managing people and projects. This critical turning point is where BLI makes a difference. From our Leadership Academy (now being offered at the AICPA for a fifth year and in several State CPA Societies and custom Firm and Corporate programs to our portfolio of programs that develop the critical leadership competencies identified by the AICPA in their CPA Horizons 2025 Project.
The Bounce covers the career trajectory of professionals as they move from technical proficiency to managing people and projects and ultimately organizations. The bounce speaks to the change in direction from technical mastery to acquiring competencies to lead others and leading organizations. It is about velocity and trajectory as you shift direction to the need for more “success skills” as you move up n your career. The Bounce includes the latest research on competencies from the AICPA through the CPA Horizons 2025 Project and the CGMA Competency framework.
This presentation also includes survey results of the top issues facing young professionals and Tom's top tools for personal development.

The Shift Change in Accounting
Can you hear the shift change whistle? Because today the whistle is blowing for the accounting profession. The shift change is the transfer of the retiring baby boomers to the next generation of leaders that will be taking the helm in the next few years. Except this time it is not the same as the shipyard. This time the incoming shift will require a new set of skills and tools to continue the work of the prior shift. This time it is different.
The shift change is different in five fundamental areas that are radically changing:
1. Technology - hyper-connected, mobile, social, cloud, and big data.
2. Generations - Generation gap, generation lap, and 2 for 1 (Boomers to Xers).
3. Workplace - Work is no longer a place we go, but what we do - open, collaborative, and flexible.
4. Leadership - A recent Harvard Business Publishing study found only 32% of business leaders believe that their organizations have the right leadership to achieve their strategic goals and cope with the current business environment.
5. Learning - L>C, flipped classrooms, participation and engagement are the new normal.
The cause of the shift change is the rapidly changing and complex hyper-competitive environment which has become the new normal. The key to managing this shift change is a very simple, but very big idea - develop your talent and Keep your L>C.
The winners of this shift change will be those who can keep their rate of learning greater than the rate of change and greater than their competition. This is true for the organizations as well as individuals. The secret to talent development and L>C is in the 4 C's - Competencies, Career Path, Curriculum, and Cloud Learning.

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?

Top 7 Issues Facing Young Professionals - AICPA
Tom Hood presented on the top seven issues facing young professionals based on research from the Maryland Association of CPAs and the Business Learning Institute. The top issues in 2012 were: 1) information overload, 2) work-life balance, 3) generational issues and communication gaps, 4) developing networking skills, 5) keeping up with technology like cloud computing, 6) finding career guidance, and 7) understanding social media benefits. Hood provided advice and resources for addressing each issue.
Innovation: Talent and Engagement in the Agile Learning Organization
The document discusses how organizations can profit from innovation through developing talent and engagement in agile learning organizations. It emphasizes that innovation requires both individual and organizational abilities to rapidly acquire new knowledge and skills in anticipation of future trends. Additionally, it highlights the need for leadership development, learning and development programs, effective collaboration, and knowledge sharing to address skills gaps and talent shortages that many organizations currently face.

Are you future ready? Do you have the skills to deal with the disruptive forces at work in the market today?
A recent study by Oxford put the accounting and auditing profession at a 94% disruption by technology. In addition the profession is facing the massive “shift change” as a new generation begins to take the reigns from the retiring baby boomers.
Major shifts in leadership, learning, technology, generations, and the workplace are underway. Except this time it is different. This time the incoming shift will require a new set of skills and tools to continue the work of the prior shift. The cause of the shift change is the rapidly changing and complex hyper-competitive environment which has become the new normal.
The key to managing this shift change is a very simple, but very big idea – develop your talent and Keep your L>C.
Tom Hood shares his perspective on how the profession is responding and what you should be thinking about to position yourself for these changes ahead. As the second most influential person in the CPA Profession, Tom was involved in creating a vision for CPAs into the year 2025. That vision talks about how accounting professionals can move up the value chain and the skills you will need to grow and avoid disruption. Tom will share the latest research and real world experience with his work at the Business Learning Institute. Participants will learn about the latest trends and techniques to navigate this “shift change” as leaders of organizations and as individuals.
Tom also introduces the latest research from the Business Learning Institute about the "missing competency" of anticipation and the related "future ready" skills needed by CFOs, Controllers, CPAs, and accounting and finance professionals.

As millennials come of age in the workplace, getting them to stick around is becoming a concern. Elements of the employment deal like organizational culture, benefits and working conditions play a critical role in retaining top performers. During this spotlight webinar, millennial branding expert Dan Schawbel will uncover the elements that lead to a clash between generations and how employers can better leverage their programs to meet the needs of the young workers.
During this webinar attendees will hear:
How total rewards contribute to employee motivation
The key factors employees look for in positions and their connection to employee retention
Comparison of workforce generations and its impact on workforce planning
Leadership in the Era of Innovation - A Case Based Presentation
I recently did a session in Helsinki, Finland on leadership in the era of innovation. My approach was interactive as I developed three short cases for the audience. We deep-dived into one of the, The Frustrated Innovation Team and very briefly discussed the other two.
Here you can see the presentation slides (very simple as I focused on interaction and discussion).
What Millennials and young professionals want
This document discusses the desires and expectations of Millennial workers. It notes that Millennials will make up 75% of the workforce by 2025. Millennials value work-life balance, good relationships with colleagues and supervisors, learning opportunities, and a sense of purpose in their work more than high salaries. They expect modern technology and flexible work arrangements. Rigid processes and outdated corporate technology do not meet Millennials' needs and expectations. The document recommends that companies focus on culture, technology platforms, and agile processes to attract and retain Millennial talent.
High-Performance Collaboration: Leadership, Teamwork, and Negotiation
This document summarizes a presentation on high performance collaboration through leadership, teamwork, and negotiation. The presentation was given by a panel that included professionals from Johns Hopkins University, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Ford Motor Company, and IBM. The panel discussed how leadership provides structure, teamwork propels efforts forward, and negotiation provides guidance and control. Effective leadership styles, the stages of team development, tips for teamwork, and keys to successful negotiation were some of the topics covered. The presentation emphasized that high performance collaboration is driven by balancing these three components of structure, propulsion, and guidance/control.
Microsoft Teams in repsonse to business culture change
This document summarizes a presentation about using Microsoft Teams in response to changes in business culture. The presentation discusses how digitization and changing generational expectations are transforming business and culture. It advocates that companies adopt digital tools like Teams and emphasizes that successful digital transformation requires changes to culture and mindset, not just strategy or tools. The presentation outlines workshops and change management processes to help companies adapt their culture and embrace new ways of working enabled by technology.
Upwork's Work Without Limits Executive Summit 2019
Upwork’s annual Work Without Limits Executive Summit brought over 100 senior-level executives from Fortune 1000 organizations such as Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Oracle, LinkedIn, and Deloitte to discuss how work is evolving. Executives, HR visionaries, and industry influencers shared best practices for organizational transformation and leveraging distributed, flexible teams.
Highlights from this year’s event include:
2 “The future isn’t who you are, the future is who you’re becoming. Who you’re becoming relies directly on who you hire” -Bodell
3 “We don’t want to sit around and wait for the future, you want to create it.” -Bodell
5 “The inhibitor to innovation is not the ability to learn new things but the inability to unlearn mindsets, behaviors and methods that were once effective but now limit success” -O’Reilly
Leaders must UNLEARN, to impact mindset you don’t start thinking differently, you need to start by behaving differently.
6 “New platforms, applications and devices are connecting us like never before. We have extraordinary mobile computing power, allowing anyone to work from anywhere, enabling everyone to gather, generate and share data at warp speed and it’s not going to slow down anytime soon.” -Wade
7 “We’re all struggling to work out how to deal with this as many traditional rules and practices become irrelevant, or at least inadequate. Each one of us is interpreting these changes in different ways” -Wade
8 “The pace of evolution is going to pick up as more and more Millennials are in positions to not only influence but direct how work is done at their organizations” -Gregg
9 How Millennials lead differently
10. Many of us work in the traditional notion of a job that was created with the assembly line. Fast forward to today, we’re seeing the democratization of information and work and the rapid ability to deconstruct jobs, redistribute tasks to anywhere in the world, and the opportunity to reconstruct work in a fundamentally different fashion. It’s a tipping point of the future of work.
11 As skills and technology advance -- speed is the new premium.
12 In 1955, the average age of a Fortune 500 company was 60 years old. Today, less than 12% of the original list remains. The average lifespan is now 20 years old. They all have CHANGE in common and you can either embrace the change and thrive, or resist the change.
13 Work is changing:
-Millennials increase earning power, while baby boomers seek learning opportunities to stay employable
-The number of careers in an life is increasing. Business and talent leaders and workers must plan for careers that span 50–60 years
-Millennials say business should prepare workers
-Freelancers are proactively updating skills to stay marketable
15 “New technology allows you to do things in new ways. But fear holds people back. How do we create a tool that is ‘ordinary and boring’ that can serve as a useful ladder to go from early adopter to early majority?” -Winsor
Lead by Letting Go: Launching Success in a Time of Change
Opening Keynote for Women of the Channel West 2014. Looks at how we work, lead, learn, and mentor -- and what constraints we can let go of and what we must hold tight to.
Managing Millenials
This document summarizes a presentation about managing millennials in the workplace. The presentation discusses:
1) What millennials expect from employers, such as contribution over credentials, peer reviews, and intrinsic rewards.
2) How management needs to fundamentally change to focus on trusting and valuing employees first to engage millennial workers.
3) The objectives of adopting an "Employees First, Customers Second" management philosophy and examples of companies that succeeded with this approach.
Connecting Learning to the Right Systems Webinar
This document summarizes a webinar presentation focused on the importance of integrating learning systems with other enterprise systems. It discusses how learning is connected to various talent management systems and other business systems like finance, CRM, and ERP. The presentation notes that integration is critical for learning organizations according to research. It also provides an example of how CERN integrated its learning management system with its existing infrastructure systems using APIs.
The Future of Work
Catalant CEO and Co-Founder, Rob Biederman, presented at the Future of Work Austin event in March of 2017. In this presentation, he shares his thoughts on the history of work and what changes we can expect in the coming years. Work is being reimagined; learn how your company can get ahead of this shift.
Modern Recruiting: 4 Fundamentals Every Recruiter Should Master
This presentation is from a recent webinar we held. We covered:
- How you can amp up your personal profile and LinkedIn Company Page with the latest features
- How you can use LinkedIn to find and engage great candidates.
- How to optimize your job descriptions and posts to help you attract that top talent.
- How to use LinkedIn to build your employer brand.
Work Trends 2019
The document provides an overview and introduction to trends in the future of work. It discusses how work is changing due to technological, societal, and economic trends. Specifically, it notes that jobs and skills are changing rapidly, the demand for new skills is increasing, and soft skills have become the top skills gap. It also discusses the growth of non-traditional work arrangements like freelancing and on-demand work. Overall, the summary emphasizes that work, learning, life and leisure are converging due to various trends, transforming how companies operate.

Women in Technology. Things that hold women back.
A lot of women get into technology early on, receive a good education, and stay in the workforce throughout most of their lives. Technology industry is growing, with more opportunities for skilled dedicated professionals available now than ever before. However, the number of women in Tech has decreased over time. What is stopping more women from joining and staying in the field?
The Human Factor: Debunking The Myth That Technology Drives Collaboration
At the end of the day, people have always been what determines if a business succeeds or fails. They are the ones who work hard and achieve objectives, most often using tools in which their organization has invested. With the proliferation of and advances in technology such as SharePoint, Yammer, Delve, Office Groups, and Office Graph, why are 60-80% of organizations still struggling to achieve collaboration nirvana?
This 60-minute session will answer this question and more, spending time discussing how people, and not technology, lie at the heart of successful collaboration projects. In fact, in its most basic form, collaboration means "To work with another person", and this session will extract and explain the most common human factors that are present in every collaboration initiative, and how slight changes in your approach to people can lead to enhanced user adoption, improved employee engagement, and lasting ROI.

Dealing With Demanding Millennials
As millennials come of age in the workplace, getting them to stick around is becoming a concern. Elements of the employment deal like organizational culture, benefits and working conditions play a critical role in retaining top performers. During this spotlight webinar, millennial branding expert Dan Schawbel will uncover the elements that lead to a clash between generations and how employers can better leverage their programs to meet the needs of the young workers.
During this webinar attendees will hear:

Comparison of workforce generations and its impact on workforce planning
Leadership in the Era of Innovation - A Case Based Presentation
I recently did a session in Helsinki, Finland on leadership in the era of innovation. My approach was interactive as I developed three short cases for the audience. We deep-dived into one of the, The Frustrated Innovation Team and very briefly discussed the other two.
Here you can see the presentation slides (very simple as I focused on interaction and discussion).
What Millennials and young professionals want
This document discusses the desires and expectations of Millennial workers. It notes that Millennials will make up 75% of the workforce by 2025. Millennials value work-life balance, good relationships with colleagues and supervisors, learning opportunities, and a sense of purpose in their work more than high salaries. They expect modern technology and flexible work arrangements. Rigid processes and outdated corporate technology do not meet Millennials' needs and expectations. The document recommends that companies focus on culture, technology platforms, and agile processes to attract and retain Millennial talent.
High-Performance Collaboration: Leadership, Teamwork, and Negotiation
This document summarizes a presentation on high performance collaboration through leadership, teamwork, and negotiation. The presentation was given by a panel that included professionals from Johns Hopkins University, Huntington Ingalls Industries, Ford Motor Company, and IBM. The panel discussed how leadership provides structure, teamwork propels efforts forward, and negotiation provides guidance and control. Effective leadership styles, the stages of team development, tips for teamwork, and keys to successful negotiation were some of the topics covered. The presentation emphasized that high performance collaboration is driven by balancing these three components of structure, propulsion, and guidance/control.
Microsoft Teams in repsonse to business culture change
This document summarizes a presentation about using Microsoft Teams in response to changes in business culture. The presentation discusses how digitization and changing generational expectations are transforming business and culture. It advocates that companies adopt digital tools like Teams and emphasizes that successful digital transformation requires changes to culture and mindset, not just strategy or tools. The presentation outlines workshops and change management processes to help companies adapt their culture and embrace new ways of working enabled by technology.
Upwork's Work Without Limits Executive Summit 2019
Upwork’s annual Work Without Limits Executive Summit brought over 100 senior-level executives from Fortune 1000 organizations such as Microsoft, Procter & Gamble, Oracle, LinkedIn, and Deloitte to discuss how work is evolving. Executives, HR visionaries, and industry influencers shared best practices for organizational transformation and leveraging distributed, flexible teams.
Highlights from this year’s event include:
2 “The future isn’t who you are, the future is who you’re becoming. Who you’re becoming relies directly on who you hire” -Bodell
3 “We don’t want to sit around and wait for the future, you want to create it.” -Bodell
5 “The inhibitor to innovation is not the ability to learn new things but the inability to unlearn mindsets, behaviors and methods that were once effective but now limit success” -O’Reilly
Leaders must UNLEARN, to impact mindset you don’t start thinking differently, you need to start by behaving differently.
6 “New platforms, applications and devices are connecting us like never before. We have extraordinary mobile computing power, allowing anyone to work from anywhere, enabling everyone to gather, generate and share data at warp speed and it’s not going to slow down anytime soon.” -Wade
7 “We’re all struggling to work out how to deal with this as many traditional rules and practices become irrelevant, or at least inadequate. Each one of us is interpreting these changes in different ways” -Wade
8 “The pace of evolution is going to pick up as more and more Millennials are in positions to not only influence but direct how work is done at their organizations” -Gregg
9 How Millennials lead differently
10. Many of us work in the traditional notion of a job that was created with the assembly line. Fast forward to today, we’re seeing the democratization of information and work and the rapid ability to deconstruct jobs, redistribute tasks to anywhere in the world, and the opportunity to reconstruct work in a fundamentally different fashion. It’s a tipping point of the future of work.
11 As skills and technology advance -- speed is the new premium.
12 In 1955, the average age of a Fortune 500 company was 60 years old. Today, less than 12% of the original list remains. The average lifespan is now 20 years old. They all have CHANGE in common and you can either embrace the change and thrive, or resist the change.
13 Work is changing:
-Millennials increase earning power, while baby boomers seek learning opportunities to stay employable
-The number of careers in an life is increasing. Business and talent leaders and workers must plan for careers that span 50–60 years
-Millennials say business should prepare workers
-Freelancers are proactively updating skills to stay marketable
15 “New technology allows you to do things in new ways. But fear holds people back. How do we create a tool that is ‘ordinary and boring’ that can serve as a useful ladder to go from early adopter to early majority?” -Winsor

Women in Technology. Things that hold women back.
A lot of women get into technology early on, receive a good education, and stay in the workforce throughout most of their lives. Technology industry is growing, with more opportunities for skilled dedicated professionals available now than ever before. However, the number of women in Tech has decreased over time. What is stopping more women from joining and staying in the field?
The Human Factor: Debunking The Myth That Technology Drives Collaboration
At the end of the day, people have always been what determines if a business succeeds or fails. They are the ones who work hard and achieve objectives, most often using tools in which their organization has invested. With the proliferation of and advances in technology such as SharePoint, Yammer, Delve, Office Groups, and Office Graph, why are 60-80% of organizations still struggling to achieve collaboration nirvana?
This 60-minute session will answer this question and more, spending time discussing how people, and not technology, lie at the heart of successful collaboration projects. In fact, in its most basic form, collaboration means "To work with another person", and this session will extract and explain the most common human factors that are present in every collaboration initiative, and how slight changes in your approach to people can lead to enhanced user adoption, improved employee engagement, and lasting ROI.

The document discusses criticism of Melania Trump for having a foreign accent as the future First Lady. It draws parallels between criticism of Melania and the author's own experiences immigrating to America from Europe and facing prejudice. The author argues that millions of Americans have European heritage and ancestors who immigrated for opportunity, and questions why a foreign accent should make someone "not normal." The author believes unifying Americans by embracing shared heritage and values, rather than dividing over differences, could help promote peace and unity.Technology Best Practices: The When, Why How for Implementing Technology Solu...

We know learning happens across different systems and devices, between people, and in the real world. We also know weaving it all together into a seamless learning experience takes some work: new system functionality with L&D, HR and IT teams working together.
As L&D leaders, how can we effectively convince and then work with other business leads to overcome organizational challenges?
The good news is the financial support is there: 70% of CHROs are investing in technologies to help them move faster (PWC Technology Survey in 2017).
The even better news is Beachbody has been successful in partnering L&D to the business and they will be on our May webinar to show just how they did it.
Data-Driven Talent Attraction & Engagement
Recruiting has evolved due to technological innovations and candidate expectations and so should your measurement practices. From employer branding and recruitment marketing to social recruiting and sourcing, recruiting activity these days generates an immense amount of data. But gathering and analyzing this data is a full-time job – and recruiters already have their hands full with managing endless req loads, as well as the needs of candidates and hiring managers.
However, a growing number of organizations are leveraging insights derived from more robust analytics and measurement practices, and outperforming their peers. In this webinar, Will Staney, Founder and Principal Consultant at Proactive Talent Strategies, LLC and Kyle Lagunas, Founder and Principal Analyst at Lighthouse Research & Advisory will examine key practices emerging in data-driven recruiting, showcase their research, and spotlight examples of these practices at work today.
We’ll be covering the following topics:
The Evolution of Recruiting
Social media and consumer technologies have changed candidate expectations and the way we attract talent.
Defining Data-Driven Recruiting
What does “data-driven recruiting” mean?
Metrics, Measurement & Analysis
How are top talent leaders measuring the effectiveness of their talent attraction efforts? We’ll look at the research.

Attendees will be equipped with best practices to build workforce experiences that really get the best from their people. As a result, they’ll know how to truly engage their people, drive productivity and boost business performance.
HR and the Challenge of Agile Talent
The webinar provided information on managing agile talent effectively. It discussed trends driving greater reliance on external talent, such as skills gaps and increased expertise availability globally. It outlined three approaches to agile talent and highlighted how to focus agile talent on building strategic capabilities. The webinar also reviewed key concerns with using external talent and provided a model for determining when to "rent" versus "own" talent. It stressed the importance of alignment across strategic, performance, relationship, and administrative dimensions. Finally, it offered a process for organizations to improve their management of agile talent.
NEXT GENERATION FRAMEWORK FOR RECRUITING IN THE DIGITAL AGE
As the global job market continues to shift and the demand for new skills grows, so does the need to think more strategically about how we attract and engage the best and brightest. This session will provide insights into how organizations can strengthen their existing talent pools while identifying new ways to attract top talent.
In this session, we’ll discuss:
Modern candidate expectations and behavior
Data driven job marketing strategies
How to build your competitive advantage by elevating your employer brand
Reframing Performance Management Conversations: AIGs Transformation Story
The webinar provided an overview of AIG's transformation of its performance management system. It discussed how AIG's previous system focused too much on rankings and numbers, which negatively impacted employee morale. AIG then conducted extensive research, including employee focus groups and working with a behavioral economist. This informed the creation of a new system that focuses on both employees' contributions and how they worked, evaluated through self, peer and manager reviews. It aims to encourage collaboration over competition and have constructive conversations about development. AIG also created a volunteer community of over 1,200 employees to help spread the new approach.
STAYING READY FOR WHAT’S NEXT: OUTCOMES VS LEARNING
Only 38% of HR leaders say they have ample data about their workforce to understand their strengths and potential vulnerabilities from a skills perspective. But could the lack of clarity be because we’re focused on the wrong metrics?
Employee engagement has long been the bellweather to measure the success of learning and training programs. But it’s outcomes, not activities, that really counts.
Join us for a crash course in measuring the success of learning and workforce development initiatives.
THE DATAFICATION OF TALENT MANAGEMENT: HOW PEOPLE ANALYTICS LEADS TO STRATEGI...
According to Bersin by Deloitte’s HR Technology Disruptions for 2018 report: people analytics is now “a must-have domain within HR.”
The global economic recovery, compounded by demographic shifts, has moved power from employers to employees, turning talent into a seller’s market. As a result, the workforce is increasingly a core strategic consideration and top concern of the C-suite. Yet the most commonly monitored talent metrics do very little to deliver true insight into the workforce and its impact on the business–and Talent Management’s readiness to report more than basic metrics remains a serious issue.
Talent Management needs to graduate from metrics to people analytics–from information that only guides tactics to insights that drive strategy–and discover the important connections and patterns in their data that enable better workforce decisions. Join expert Dave Weisbeck as he discusses how Talent Management can use people analytics to achieve strategic excellence and play a more critical role in driving business performance than ever before.
In this informative webinar, Dave will show you how to transform your Talent Management, ramping up from basic operational reporting to strategic people analytics and workforce planning.
Topics will include:
Global and technological trends shaping the Datafication of Talent Management
How Talent Management can move up the people analytics maturity curve
What impact the advent of the people strategy platform plays in analytics maturity
Practical examples of how to graduate from metrics to people analytics in:
Recruiting Effectiveness
Performance Management
Talent Retention
Comp & Benefits
Workforce Costs
Common pitfalls to avoid with people analytics
Register for this engaging webinar to learn the ins and outs of the datafication of Talent Management and what impact it has your organization.

For the past several years, workforce analytics have been “in neutral.” Meaning, there are a lot of organizations thinking about workforce analytics, but few are truly practicing them.
The competitive urgency is here, just as it has been for the past 3 to 5 years; however, in the past year, there has been an increased understanding that workforce intelligence is about making not just HR better but also the business better. It’s about not just understanding data-driven HR and the usual metrics, but also specifically how HR can connect what it’s doing to business outcomes. It’s about how HR can not only align with the business but also drive the business by making better decisions about the workforce. It’s about knowing and applying an in-depth understanding of organizational dynamics based on data.
Incremental progress is being made and increasingly more companies are looking to connect their talent and business data as a single source of data truth. Only then can HR make data-driven business decisions and develop a workforce plan that optimizes talent investments while effectively monitoring recruiting, development, engagement, productivity, accountability, retention and many other workplace initiatives.
Join Visier and guest Meghan M. Biro, founder and CEO of TalentCulture, for an informative webinar, where you’ll learn:
●Why talent acquisition and retention critically impact your business.
●How to develop and sustain a single source of HR data truth.
●How to connect workforce decisions to business outcomes.
●How workforce planning helps create a culture of collaborative productivity.
●How to drive and sustain real workplace accountability with data-driven initiatives.
Innovation is Not Just for Technology Companies Anymore
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.
Workforce 2020
The document provides instructions for participating in an online webinar. It explains that audio for the webinar will be through computer speakers or headphones as no dial-in number will be provided. It outlines the various tools available for webinar attendees, including how to adjust audio volume, view speaker bios and resources, ask questions, and participate in group chat. Twitter and frequently asked questions are also addressed.
How to Measure the Impact of Learning
According to Bersin by Deloitte, more than 95%* of CLOs feel it is critical to demonstrate the impact and value of training; however, less than 5% are confident in their ability to do so.
Are you able to easily connect learning to business results in your organization? For many L&D leaders this is a major problem, which stems from an outdated method of measurement, as well as inadequate measurement tools.
In this session, you will learn:
How to flip the traditional measurement model on its head and see it through a different lens.
Methods for measuring the impact on your business, whether it’s revenue, safety incidents, shrink or customer satisfaction.
Case studies of organizations that have demonstrated a bottom-line impact to their business and how they went about measuring it.

8 PRINCIPLES OF ORGANIZATIONAL RELEVANCE
In this age of digital transformation, the speed of business propels at breakneck pace. Thirty years ago, companies moved much slower, akin to a Class-II whitewater rapid. The executives at the helm of the lead boat negotiated the rapids dragging everyone else behind in another boat. Support functions and many individuals definitely didn’t have a place in the lead boat, but it didn’t matter much, as the convoy still succeeded moving at a manageable pace.
But today, companies demand agility, responsiveness, and foresight as they traverse dangerous Class-VI rapids. Insufficient or ineffective communication fostered or hindered by Relevancy of individuals and Teams across all disciplines leaves your organization perched precariously on the edge of a major crisis, potentially provoking financial catastrophe, deteriorating customer loyalty, and brand presence.
Damage comes in more insidious forms as well, including the repercussions of ineffective production and communication, or the cancer of a toxic organizational culture. Despite these treacherous waters, we are still often not asked to be part of the lead boat. Pat Bodin, the best-selling author of Get in the Boat: A Journey to Relevance, will discuss organizational relevance and actionable items to give you the opportunity to earn a seat in the lead boat.
Impacts of Organizational Relevance include:
For the Individual:
Elevates their awareness of the needs of all groups within the organization
Broadens their visibility to the core operations in support of its’ needs
Creates improved job satisfaction and belonging
For the Organization:
Strengthens the working relationships across all disciplines and improves retention
Fosters Talent Development
Drives performance through common focus between individuals and groups
THE AGILITY SHIFT: T-MOBILE DEVELOPS LEADERS FOR A VUCA WORLD
A volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous (VUCA) workplace requires a distinct set of leadership competencies: non-hierarchical influence, the ability to rapidly align across functions, creativity for drawing insights across domains, and most of all, “empathy,” the linchpin leadership skill in the modern workplace. Empathy allows us to imagine the world from different perspectives, unite across functions, generations, regions. Join Melissa Lanier of T-Mobile to learn about “The Agility Shift,” an award-winning leader development offering designed to equip people managers to thrive in an uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment. The program, which will utilize cutting-edge virtual simulation technology, is designed to help leaders respond quickly and increase resilience by immersively preparing them for stressful encounters. Impact is measured on an individual, function and business level. Collectively, managers report learning how to “avoid tunnel vision,” "think on their feet," “respond rather than react” and embrace a positive mindset.
FUTUREPROOF YOUR ORGANIZATION: SUCCESSION PLANNING IN THE SKILLS ECONOMY
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help enhance one's emotional well-being and mental clarity.
RE-EVALUATING YOUR ORGANIZATION’S SKILL GAPS
Many companies seem to have fallen victim to the ominous skills gap – but only because they’ve found it’s easier to place blame somewhere than to look at what they can do to fix it. If you’re struggling to find qualified candidates, you might need to take a deeper look at your organization and ask some pointed questions. Are there areas of the recruiting process that are lending to skill gaps? Have you done a formal assessment to uncover skill gaps? Are you using modern learning methods to bridge gaps by upskilling your current workforce?
Join Katie Miller from BizLibrary as we re-evaluate potential root causes of your organization’s skill gaps and discuss what can be done to fill them efficiently.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
The factors that could be contributing to your skill gaps, and how to find and address the root causes
How to re-evaluate what a “qualified candidate” is in order to create more relevant and realistic talent expectations
How to start uncovering your organization’s skill gaps with a formal assessment
How to use modern training methods to bridge skill gaps by upskilling your workforce
HOW TO FIX THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT GAP
Behind every successful organization is a great team of leaders. But despite billions of dollars spent each year on leadership development programs most companies are still failing their next generation of emerging leaders. In fact, according to Gallup, 50% of attrition is due to poor managers––which makes that the biggest driver of employee disengagement.
So why are leadership development programs failing? And how can we fix it?
Join us for a live webinar where we discuss reasons these programs fail and how to keep your leadership development on track. We’ll explore:
How to identify who should be a leader in the first place
The big, pervasive problem with leadership development
What to do with great employees who might not be cut out for management
The best traits to bring out of your emerging leaders
And more!
EXPLORE THE CORE PRINCIPLES OF DESIGN THINKING
Design Thinking is getting a lot of attention today, for many reasons.

Why it’s important
Who should participate
How to create a culture of Design Thinking
Practical ways to get started driving creativity and innovation that will make a difference to your customers and within your organization
REACHING THE BLUE COLLAR WORKFORCE: HOW POLARIS DEVELOPS TALENT IN 2019
Traditional L&D isn’t obsolete, but it has become outdated. That’s why we collected data from nearly 800 workers, managers, and leaders from around the globe to gain some insights into where L&D and talent leaders can be more effective. The survey says…..L&D is falling short for the modern workforce. In fact, our respondents gave their employers an overall Net Promoter Score of -25 on their learning and development strategies. But many business leaders know this already. What they don’t know is how to fix it. The good news is that employees still love learning and they’re looking for organizational guidance. By honing in on the data and insights that impact how people — and companies — learn, you can make smarter investments in your most valuable assets: the skills of your people. Lucky for you, this event also includes a quick case study from Booking.com on how they are making this data come to life in their organization.
Register for this webinar to learn:
The difference between learning and acquiring new skills
How to apply hard metrics to your L&D strategy
How to align your employees’ learning goals with those of your larger company
How Polaris is putting the insights from the research to work at their organization
HIRING & FIRING AROUND THE WORLD: AVOID LEGAL TRIPWIRES IN THE TOP COUNTRIES ...
The war for talent is heating up and businesses are smart to consider qualified, passionate candidates from around the world.
That said, hiring and firing in countries other than the U.S. comes with interesting (and often surprising) challenges.
In the U.S., companies can hire quickly as business entities are already established. They can fire quickly as well, so long as the reason isn’t illegal.
What many executive teams overlook is that this efficiency isn’t the same when expanding and adding team members globally. Internationally, hiring without setting up a subsidiary is impossible. And the concept of at-will employment, where companies can let go of employees at any time, does not exist.
What does this mean for your international expansion plans and your business? What would normally be an uneventful employment action or termination in the U.S. could blindside your company in an international context.
Navigating the intricacies of country-specific labor laws can feel like a minefield of potential legal exposure, expensive litigation, and costly payouts. It’s critical to be prepared before you make the first international hire.
In this webinar, you’ll learn:
3 things every HR lead needs to know when it’s time to hire globally
Surprising facts about employment law and benefits packages in EMEA, APAC and more
What U.S.-based HR teams need to know about the termination process in key expansion countries (and real stories from international HR specialists on the ground)

Dont wait what 300 ld leaders have learned about building data fluency
Data science and AI are impacting many industries globally, from healthcare and government to agriculture and finance. Everybody needs to be able to work with data the way everybody needed to start using email 20 years ago. As we wrote in Harvard Business Review, “Very few companies expect only professional writers to know how to write. So why ask only professional data scientists to understand and analyze data, at least at a basic level?”
But what value can data fluency actually add, what are best practices to build it into your organization, and what are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations?
To answer these questions and more, we conducted a survey of over 300 Learning and Development leaders from diverse industries including healthcare, technology, consumer goods, government, and finance. Join this webinar with Dr. Hugo Bowne-Anderson, a data scientist and educator at DataCamp, to find out what we discovered and what 300 L&D leaders have learned about building data fluency.
Learning Objectives:
What value can data fluency actually add?
What are the best practices to build data fluency in your organization?
What are the biggest challenges that businesses encounter in data-driven transformations?
HUMANIZING BUSINESS AND CHANGE
As businesses become more technological (AI and robotics), there is a challenge and opportunity to, paradoxically, make them more human. The Business Roundtable talked about the importance of human stakeholders over just profit — but how close are we? Are those nice words? What would it take to make business and change more human? As a change, ethics and leadership expert with 40 years of experience, Paul Gibbons will talk us through conclusions from his new book “IMPACT.”
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1) Is the Fourth Industrial Revolution really "a thing?” What is it and what makes our time special?
2) What are the human implications of new technologies? Who will benefit? What is the potential harm?
3) What can workplaces and leaders do to equip themselves for these workplace transformations (future of work)?
Unlock Your Courageous Culture
The document promotes Ryan Berman and his company Courage Brands. It introduces Berman as the creator of Courage Brands and author of the book "Return on Courage". Berman helps brands build courage through storytelling and consulting. He has worked with major companies and founded Sock Problems, a sock brand that donates to causes. Courage Brands aims to help companies liberate themselves from fears through holistic internal and external change.

The Rules Do Apply: Navigating HR Compliance
https://www.humanresourcestoday.com/frs/26903483/the-rules-do-apply--navigating-hr-compliance
HR Compliance is like a giant game of whack-a-mole. Once you think your company is compliant with all policies and procedures documented and in place, there’s a new or amended law, regulation, or final rule that pops up landing you back at ‘start.’ There are shifts, interpretations, and balancing acts to understanding compliance changes. Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.
This is a particular pain point for small HR departments, or HR departments of 1, that lack compliance teams and in-house labor attorneys. So, what do you do?
The goal of this webinar is to make you smarter in knowing what you should be focused on and the questions you should be asking. It will also provide you with resources for making compliance more manageable.
Objectives:
• Understand the regulatory landscape, including labor laws at the local, state, and federal levels
• Best practices for developing, implementing, and maintaining effective compliance programs
• Resources and strategies for staying informed about changes to labor laws, regulations, and compliance requirements

【关于价格问题（保证一手价格）】
我们所定的价格是非常合理的，而且我们现在做得单子大多数都是代理和回头客户介绍的所以一般现在有新的单子 我给客户的都是第一手的代理价格，因为我想坦诚对待大家 不想跟大家在价格方面浪费时间
对于老客户或者被老客户介绍过来的朋友，我们都会适当给一些优惠。
