"Whether you think you can, or can't, you're right." Citing Henry Ford's famous quote, Dustin Hostetler's blog entry urges CPA firms to apply a healthy dose of professional skepticism to "same as last year" ("SALY") thinking. Otherwise, he warns, "we're leaving ourselves vulnerable to a better, more proactive, and more value-focused competitor passing us by."

To challenge SALY thinking and embrace change, Hostetler suggests a simple, but effective, rule: "We will not use the word 'can't' when ideas are first being introduced." This approach can quickly enhance a firm's process and work improvement efforts.
