Week 1: CFO Series: Innovation for Continued Success

Field of Study: Business Management & Organization

Discussion Leader: Brian Maturi, MBA, FCA

Date: Friday, June 9, 11 am

Description: Disruptive innovation has ended many businesses and led others to take their place. Learn why previously successful companies failed to innovate. We will discuss the four types of innovation that can lead to success and learn why and how our expectations can help or hinder innovation. We will discuss strategies to encourage innovation and how an enterprise can structure its activities to foster innovation. Successful organizations thrive, while organizations that do not innovate are on the path leading elsewhere.

Week 2: CFO Series: Deceit and the Whys Behind the Lies

CPE: 2

Field of Study: Behavioral Ethics

Discussion Leader: Robert Mims, CPA

Date: Friday, June 16, 11 am

Description: Our guidance on ethics comes from the AICPA and other groups, but it does not fully address the "why" behind ethics. This session will examine and define what ethics is and what it means to varying people in the workplace. Understanding people and their motivations are key to both solving ethical dilemmas and workplace issues that can lead to greater job satisfaction and efficiency. To correct an issue, you need to delve into the root cause - the "why".

Week 3: CFO Series: Transition Smoothly Within the Business World

CPE: 2

Field of Study: Personal Development

Discussion Leader: Robert Berry, CPA

Date: Friday, June 23, 11 am

Description: Is your role changing? Are you getting a promotion, a new job, retiring, joining a Board, or are you fresh college graduate? How can you transition smoothly and understand those who you will work with? How do you fit in, and how do you learn what to do and what not to do? Do not forget your life outside of work. It is not for your personal convenience to work when you want to. Can you have it all? How do you work with older/other/younger people? There is more to it than just being clean, well-groomed, and not distracting. Don't judge a book by its cover. Everyone will move on to new opportunities, and this session will prepare you to move on and be successful!
