DESCRIPTION
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 high performers in our survey invest more in talent, focus on closing skills gaps, have more customized training and development programs, iden9fy future leaders earlier in their careers, and have robust succession plans in place. They also focus more on “so=” leadership skills such as the ability to embody the organiza9on’s culture and values and to lead effec9vely in a complex global business environment.

The Bounce

T
Curriculum design by BLI and AICPA using Top 5 Competencies for future from CPA Horizons research and job levels from the BLI “Bounce” Model.
Leadership and Communications were combined and the 5th category
expanded to include practice specialties for firms and functional
areas for corporate.
Examples would include: Corporate Accounting, FP&A, divisional
reporting, shared services, etc. CPA Firms would have audit, tax,
industry specialties.
These technical areas would have specific curriculums designed to
meet their specific technical competency needs.

Your Competitive Advantage “It is hard to plan for the long-term future when you don’t know what is going to happen five minutes from now. Today, a competitive edge based solely on material advantage is thin and temporary; the edge quickly becomes the margin. The ability to define the edge, and the ultimate competitive advantage, is found in the smarts, heart and ingenuity of your people. That’s your powerhouse. Tap that, train it, focus it and mobilize it; now you’ve engaged a network and inspired a sustainable shift.

Engagement – Alignment - Commitment

and greater than their competition. – Tom Hood
