Building a High Performing Culture – Human Capital as a Competitive Advantage

Where are we going, who will we be working with, and what do we need to know when we get there? As the accounting profession evolves, our competitive advantage is based on how well a department or firm creates a high performing culture, and engages high performing teams as a part of that culture.

In this fast-paced session, Karl Ahlrichs offers multiple viewpoints on ethics, leadership and the generations and shares skills you will need to maintain your competitive advantage. All of this will be mapped on top of a brief review of some fundamental economic data and the framework that organizations are operating in.
