Major subjects

• Week 1: CFO Series-Staff Retention-Attract and Keep the Best Staff | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Business Management & Organization | Discussion Leader: Richard Karwic | Date: 09/08/2023, 10 a.m. | Description: Why do your best employees leave? Does it seem like you spend far too much time recruiting? Do your people leave just as they become productive? If you think your turnover is because the younger generations are different from earlier generations, you probably are not looking at the deeper of your problem. We will review the facts and research on why employees leave. People do not leave organizations; they leave managers. Learn the changes you should make now!
• Week 2: CFO Series-Measure What Matters-Identify the 'Right' KPIs | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Accounting | Discussion Leader: Jane Mims, Ph.D. | Date: 09/18/2023, 10 a.m. | Description: With all the data available today globally, and in our organization, industry, and economy, how do we identify what to measure and how? Each organization has their own needs. Often, we focus on the same old metrics, but metrics from other industries may be applicable to your industry that we never thought of. Metrics are not only for managers, but employees at all levels as well. Effective dashboards help achieve organizational goals and objectives. We have too much data and this seminar will show you how to turn data into useful information.
• Week 3: CFO Series-Best Practices EVA/RCE-Metrics that Speak! | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Finance | Discussion Leader: Brian Maturi, MBA, FCA | Date: 09/22/2023, 10 a.m. | Description: How much profit is enough? Answering this question requires an understanding of how much risk is being taken and what the market requires of investments of similar risk. Learn why GAAP accounting measures can lead you astray when trying to evaluate the true economic performance of an enterprise. The measurement of economic costs and revenues requires the inclusion of opportunity costs that GAAP does not measure. The seminar looks at how this required return is established and provides practical guidance regarding two state of the art techniques for measuring true economic profit.
• Week 4: CFO Series-Accomplishment Follows Failures-Experiment More! | CPE: 2 | Field of Study: Business Management & Organization | Discussion Leader: Don Minges, MBA | Date: 09/29/2023, 10 a.m. | Description: Every success is the result of numerous experiments that failed. Every scientific advance was preceded by failures. To be direct, failures lead to success. Every failure is temporary, merely an opportunity to improve. We will review why failures are feared. Successful organizations continuously experiment, e.g., QVC, so they can learn and stay ahead of the competition. Recall the maxim - if you keep doing what you have always done, then you always get what you always got. We will demonstrate the advantages of embracing experiments as a method to improve the organization and fuel growth.
