MACPA CEO Tom Hood, voted second most influential leader in the CPA Profession in Accounting Today’s 2013 list of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting (his ninth time on the list) sees five fundamental shifts facing accounting now – Leadership, Learning, Technology, Generations and Workplace. In a world of rapid change and increasing complexity, the winners will be those individuals and organizations who can keep their L>C², their rate of learning must be greater than the rate of change and greater than their competition. Tom’s updates are always popular for CPAs and include the latest trends and issues the profession is facing locally, nationally, and globally.

48. The challenge
opportunity is to make the
shift from the first curve to
the second curve at the
right time and with the
right strategy
49. We live in a transformational time. In the next five years,
guaranteed, we're going to transform – not change, but
transform – how we sell, how we market, how we
communicate, collaborate, innovate, train, educate.
50. What would Rita say?
To stay ahead, (companies)
need to constantly start new
strategic initiatives, building and
exploiting many transient
competitive advantages at once.
Though individually temporary,
these advantages, as a portfolio,
can keep companies in the lead
over the long run.
Innovate often, decide quickly, succeed or fail, repeat
52. How?
1. Professional unity
2. Work / life integration
3. The evolving nature of
leadership and new
leadership models
4. Proactive, goal-focused
planning
5. Networked
collaboration
6. Embracing and adopting
new technologies

70. 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 Pacesetters grow revenue and gross profit faster
than other organizations.What’s their secret?
It’s cloud computing -– their engine for growth.

83. So, the size of your enterprise, the scale, your access to capital–
all those things that gave you an edge to new entrants, no
longer exists. That’s all extremely scary because that means
that your job is no longer about managing the present but
inventing the future…all the time.”
