"Man plans, God laughs." Perfection is fantasy, we must accept uncertainty. Most of our plans are useless and outdated within weeks after we think they are 'finished'. Welcome to today's world, e.g., the pandemic, great recession, supply chain issues, tax changes, tariffs and countless other changes that come from nowhere. What do we do? Do we stop planning? No! Instead we need to change what we do because the 'old' methods have failed countless times. We must change our way of thinking in a world where change is normal and a better way to plan. Some risks can be quantified, but most cannot. Some hazards are measurable, most are not. We will discuss multiple tactics to minimize (as best as practical) threats and gambles so we can feel better about our decisions. We can do a better at planning and dealing with uncertainties, but it is impossible to be perfect. Join us to learn how can we better deal with an ever-changing environment.

CFO Series: Identify the 'Good' Clients to Improve Margins (2 hours) [NT]
-
Online
2.0 Credits
Member Price: $89
Some customers are unprofitable from an economic or time perspective, but many organizations do not know the difference. When an organization has a unique, well-differentiated service or product, understanding value from the customer's perspective becomes a crucial factor in profitable pricing. We must take the time to fully understand what is valuable from the customer's point of view. What is value? Why do brand, value, and customer focus matter? Developing a deep understanding of our customers is vital. Our most important customer might be someone we haven't yet recognized. Understanding both external clients and internal stakeholders, including the evolving role of the finance department, is critical to long-term success.

Tactical CFO is a four-part series that answers the how and execution aspects of our strategies and financials. The titles include: Tactical Budgeting – Moving Beyond Traditional Budgets to Manage Performance Description – Traditional budgets often consume significant time while delivering limited operational value. This session reframes budgeting as a tactical management tool rather than a once-a-year accounting exercise. Participants will explore how to redesign the budget process to improve communication, accountability, and decision-making across the organization. The session emphasizes output-based metrics, flexible budgeting approaches, benchmarking, and educating non-financial managers so budgets become a tool for managing performance, not just controlling spending. Tactical Business Systems – Getting the Most from Information Systems and ERP Description – CFOs are increasingly accountable for the effectiveness of information systems, even if IT does not formally report to them. This session focuses on the tactical role finance leaders play in evaluating, selecting, implementing, and managing information systems. Participants will gain a practical framework for understanding IT, ERP systems, security, and emerging technologies such as AI. The session emphasizes asking the right questions, aligning systems with strategy, and avoiding common pitfalls that cause system implementations to fail. Tactical Data Management – Turning Data into Actionable Information Description – Organizations collect massive amounts of data, but far less information that actually improves decisions. This session focuses on how CFOs and CPAs can tactically manage data to generate insight, improve performance, and reduce risk. Participants will explore financial and non-financial data, data organization, and the role of analytics in understanding customers, operations, and employees. The session emphasizes clarity, simplicity, and storytelling so data supports better decisions rather than overwhelming stakeholders. Tactical Finance Leadership – Building the Finance Team of Tomorrow Description – The finance function is changing rapidly, driven by technology, demographics, and evolving business expectations. This session focuses on the tactical leadership skills CFOs and CPAs need to build and lead high-performing finance teams in the years ahead.

We live in a non-linear world that is neither predictable nor stable. Sometimes we may feel that we may just as well 'throw the dice' since making decisions seem like playing an unpredictable game.

In this seminar we will examine the decision-making process itself to find better ways of managing an uncertain future. We will examine the fundamental concepts that we learned in management accounting and will challenge some of the conventional wisdom and correct some common misconceptions.

Strategic CFO is a four-part series that answers the “why” and “direction” our companies take and our role in thinking about this big picture to infuse into our everyday lives. Strategic CFO – Strategic Financial Communications Financial professionals are expected to do more than report numbers-they must explain them in ways others understand and trust. This session focuses on improving financial communication by addressing financial literacy gaps, simplifying complex accounting concepts, and building compelling narratives around data. Participants will learn how to use stories, visuals, and language effectively to communicate strategy, performance, and risk. Through examples and interactive discussion, this session helps CPAs and CFOs become clearer, more confident communicators in both live and virtual environments. Also, some video clips will be used to add to the learning materials and research. Don't worry, they are pretty entertaining. Strategic CFO – Strategic Cash Management Cash is the lifeblood of every organization, yet many leaders struggle to explain, manage, and plan for it effectively. This session focuses on strategic cash management, capital structure decisions, and financing options available to organizations at different stages of growth. Participants will explore how CFOs balance today's cash needs with long-term strategy, evaluate debt and equity decisions, and communicate cash flow concepts to non-financial stakeholders. The session emphasizes practical frameworks, real-world examples, and modeling approaches that support better cash decisions. A few negotiation videos will be displayed to bring humor and effectiveness to the key points. Strategic CFO – Strategic Risk Management Risk management is no longer a compliance exercise-it is a core strategic responsibility of today's CFO and CPA. This session demystifies Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) by walking through the COSO framework in clear, practical terms. Participants will learn how risk integrates with strategy and performance, how organizations identify and assess risk, and how leaders respond to uncertainty in a disciplined way. Using examples, polling, and case discussions, this session equips financial professionals to communicate risk effectively and help organizations protect and create value. Some funny video clips will be used to focus on the learning material. Strategic CFO – Developing Strategy and the Why Effective CFOs and CPAs play a critical role in shaping and executing organizational strategy. This session focuses on how strategy is developed, why many strategic plans fail, and how finance leaders can help organizations create focus in an increasingly complex and fast-changing environment. Participants will explore competitive advantage, the use of financial and non-financial metrics, and the importance of aligning strategy with mission, culture, and resources. Through discussion and real-world case examples, attendees will gain practical tools to evaluate, measure, and support successful strategies across for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
