In a period of rapid change and increasing complexity, the winners will be those who can keep their rate of learning greater than the rate of change and greater than their competition or their L > C. It's time to reimagine the CPA profession around the concepts of talent development and learning. New skills, new ways of learning, and new thinking. The need for a strategic and systematic approach to talent development is already underway in many high-performing organizations. Are you ready for these sweeping, even disruptive trends? This presentation covers the latest trends and what we see as "next" practices emerging and how we, at the Business Learning Institute, are working to help CPA firms, corporations, government, and nonprofits with a new approach to talent development and learning designed to get two things: (1) business results and (2) engaged employees who are willing to give you their discretionary efforts!

A New Era in Talent Development and Learning

Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA

The #1 issue facing businesses is a need to innovate. Innovation is fundamentally about learning and how to keep your rate of learning (as individuals and as organizations) greater than the rate of change and greater than your competition. We think (and research supports this) that it is time for a "Paradigm Shift" in talent development & learning. The need for a strategic and systematic approach to talent development is already underway in many high performing organizations - are you ready for these sweeping, even disruptive trends? This presentation covers the latest trends and what we see as "next" practices emerging and how we, at the Business Learning Institute are working to help CPA firms, corporations, government and non-profits with a new approach to talent development and learning designed to get two things - business results and engaged employees who are willing to give you their discretionary efforts!

The CGMA (Chartered Global Management Accountants) developed a competency framework that helps provide useful context for the career path of a global finance/accounting professional. It follows a trajectory we call the Bounce, where the initial focus is on building core technical skills and learning to lead yourself. Soon the professional moves from task specific technical work to managing people and projects. This is where momentum and development should shift to include more "success skills" like leadership, change management, collaboration, performance management and more. This turn is where the initial career momentum changes direction and there is more emphasis on the skill of leading others and leading organizations. We use the metaphor of a basketball bounce pass to who momentum and trajectory of today's finance / accounting career. Our Business Learning Institute has been researching competencies and learning plans for finance and accounting professionals since its founding in 1999. We have mapped courses to this framework and have built curriculums for Fortune 1000 finance / accounting teams to offer a strategic and systematic approach to training. We partner with the AICPA to bring you the state of the art in training from technical to the "success skills required by the Bounce. 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.

Presentation at the Winning is Everything Conference on January 16, 2014 in Las Vegas. In a period of rapid change and increasing complexity, the winners will be those who can keep their rate of learning greater than the rate of change and greater than their competition or their L > C. It's time to reimagine the CPA profession around the concepts of talent development and learning. New skills, new ways of learning, and new thinking. The need for a strategic and systematic approach to talent development is already underway in many high-performing organizations. Are you ready for these sweeping, even disruptive trends? 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's different.

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.

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.

Creating the Magnetic Firm - Allinial HR Conference 2016

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!

Next Gen Leaders Report from the AICPA EDGE Conference 2016

Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA

“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. For more information visit www.blionline.org/ao or contact Tom Hood tom@blionline.org

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.

An Accounting Career: Big Waves of Change and Oceans of Opportunity

Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA

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.

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.

Innovation is Not Just for Technology Companies Anymore

Wizards are very useful for creating a good user experience. In all businesses, interactive sessions are most beneficial. To improve the user experience, wizards in Odoo provide an interactive session. For creating wizards, we can use transient models or abstract models. This gives features of a model class except the data storing. Transient and abstract models have permanent database persistence.
