DESCRIPTION
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 who 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 cause of the shift change is the rapidly changing and complex hypercompetitive environment that has become the new normal. Tom uses research and extensive experience working with accounting firms to talk about the five fundamental shifts in play, leadership, learning, technology, generations, and the workplace, and what accounting leaders need to know to successfully navigate these changes.

Cambrian “Big Bang” Explosion
"One out of five organizations has discovered a secret source of competitive differentiation. It allows them to serve customers in new ways and reimagine their business models. It can help surface valuable insights from their data and transform how they make decisions. It enables them to tap expertise from across their entire ecosystem. And one more thing: It helps these Pace-setters grow revenue and gross profit faster than other organizations. What’s their secret?
It’s cloud computing – their engine for growth."
– IBM Report, “Under Cloud Cover – How Leaders are Accelerating Competitive Differentiation”

Dealing with Generations
• Build on Strengths • Create a Positive Work Environment • Collaborate
Workplace
Work is not a place, it is what you do (wherever you are). – and – What you do while working is fundamentally different.
