Implement This!

Implementation and execution – a couple of my favorite topics.

You often go to a conference to gather new ideas and learn about current trends in the CPA profession. While at the conference, you begin to get excited about some of the ideas and to visualize how they could work in your firm.

Don't “try.” Be sure you do these things. Try these practical steps:

• Type your notes and summarize the best and most critical points.
• Meet with key management leaders and tell them about the ideas.
• Ask every partner and other management leader to read the summary. Let them know you will be talking to them individually about the points. Give them one week and then begin your brief visits.
• Share your excitement and stress the points that you believe are critical to your firm.
• Ask that the points be included on the next partner meeting agenda and push for at least one or two to be approved.
• Take action! You can't do it alone, so enlist your top performers to help you.
