Today I am fortunate enough to be giving a presentation for CPA Congress in Queensland on ‘Implementing Systems for Improved Reporting Efficiency’. As usual with these things I am a bit late in preparing my presentation and associated workbook. My excuse for tardiness and pracastination, such as it is, is that we have had sick children at home over the past six weeks. Including me for a week (my wife includes me in the ‘child’ category – even when I’m not sick).Â
Anyway, I am presenting at 1.55pm this afternoon on this topic in Le Grande Ballroom 2 of the Sofitel in Brisbane. Apparently it will have 142 participants, which makes me wonder perhaps what they think they are going to get. I may have to break out the spangles and leotards yet*.Â
It promises to be interesting – at least I think so but I may be biased. I am using a holistic model to diagnose whole-of-business issues with effective business systems, strategising things to do, and then implementing the initiatives. So that consulting secret again: diagnose, strategise, implement. It’s hard to keep straight in your head, but if you try really hard it will stick there.Â
I will post presentation and workbook here later today.Â
* Note to the gentle reader planning an Alan Jones-like unauthorised biography: the last time the spangles and leotards were broken out would have about 1985 – when I played Romeo in our high school play. And as I recall the spangles weren’t all that spangly (for 1985) although the leotard was something to behold…
