Anticipatory Organization - First Nano Learning for Accounting and Finance Professionals designed to learn more in less time

“Even though you access the course through your computer, it is nothing like computer based training (CBT). It was more like watching a number of great TED talks and after each short video, you helped the learner apply the concepts to their role. It changes how you view strategy and leadership by targeting how to think instead of telling you what to think. We were able to distill some very complex concepts, frame them in a manageable and meaningful way, and allow the user to tailor the lessons to their own field. It resonated with me far better than I expected a course delivered through this format ever could. Well done!” - Adam Dalson Major USAF

Anticipatory Organization: Accounting and Finance Edition (AOAF)

AOAF recognized as 2016 Top learning Product“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, Accounting Today

"The Anticipatory Organization Learning System helps establish a mindset, a common language and eventually a culture of being anticipatory for our clients. By making this anticipatory skillset a core strength of our teams, it brings creative and new ideas that make us more valuable to our clients and it creates a game changer for our firm.” -  Joey Havens, CPA Executive Partner, HORNE LLP Top 50 CPA Firm

But wait there’s more…“When associations and other organizations try new meeting formats, it's not just for novelty-it's a step toward better content delivery. What's more, the association brave enough to try a new take on classic offerings gives its members more than information; it gives them an experience and exposure to a new way of doing things.” - Jeff Waddle ASAE Meetings Remix – Time to Rethink the Usual Format Association Now Magazine, Oct 2008
