- Episode 01 | The ROI of Learning: Why Accountants Should Care About More Than Just CPE
Eighty-five percent of organizations say adaptability is critical to their success, but only seven percent say they’re making real progress on it. What’s causing that gap, and what can accounting professionals and firms do to close it?
In the first-ever episode of 20-20 Insights | Conversations, host Sean Bilodeau sits down with Jessica Sacchetti, President of 20-20 Services, to talk about the return on investment of learning. Jessica explains why ROI is more than a formula, and why adaptability may be the most valuable outcome of learning that a firm can invest in.
In this episode:
- Why the ROI of learning includes both measurable results and important intangibles
- What “learning to learn” means, and why it matters in a profession that’s changing quickly
- The top-down, framework-based way to approach problems so you become an advisor and not just a research tool
- How to get comfortable with the discomfort of change, and why you need to own your own development
- How firm leaders can build a culture where learning happens, and how to measure adaptability
- Practical steps that firms and individuals can take starting tomorrow
