All times listed are Eastern Time ZoneWeek 1:_CFO Series: Bridging the Gap with Marketing Mgt: the Four PsCPE: 2Field of Study: Business Management & OrganizationDiscussion Leader: Brian Maturi, MBA, FCADate: Friday, June 7, 11:00 amDescription: What should we know about marketing and what are the four 'P's of marketing? Many financial leaders are not sufficiently knowledgeable about the marketing function, marketing management, and measuring marketing results. When we know more, both functions can work collaboratively to help drive a superior bottom line. We can more accurately measure success, for example, in order to approve a cost-effective strategy to maintain and grow the business organically. We will discuss proven techniques to help your organization grow and thrive. Finance and marketing can and should help each other - we will show you how. Week 2:_CFO Series: Five Management SuperpowersCPE: 2Field of Study: Business Management & OrganizationDiscussion Leader: Jane Mims, Ph.D.Date: Friday, June 14, 11:00 amDescription: "Management is about persuading people to do things they do not want to do, while leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could." - Steve Jobs. We will discuss five key management strategies and skills that every successful manager has and works to perfection. This two-hour course walks you through the A-Z of effective management from the standpoint of self, team, and individuals. It's not enough to be a 'good' manager and excel in our field, we need to be more than the subject matter expert. The five management superpowers will bolster management skills for better leaders and is a proven path for those wanting to know how to shift their mindset, communication, and physical presence so they can ascend the ranks to higher leadership. Week 3:_CFO Series: Growth Opportunities for CFOs: Value Added CFOsCPE: 2Field of Study: FinanceDiscussion Leader: Gary Cokins, MBA, CPIMDate: Friday, June 21, 11:00 amDescription: Many CFOs place too much emphasis on external financial and statutory compliance reporting for government regulatory agencies and not enough on corporate performance management (CPM) methods including internal management accounting. The former is for valuation (e.g., inventories and COGS). The latter is for "creating wealth value" to support better decisions. This course provides tools and information for how CFOs can transition from bean counters to bean growers. The best CFOs not only keep score, which is necessary, but they enable the organization to score more, which is much more valuable. Week 4:_CFO Series: Audits Begin with The Right Questions: Listen!CPE: 2Field of Study: AuditingDiscussion Leader: Robert Mims, CPADate: Friday, June 28, 11:00 amDescription: Technology has boundless memory and can store all the answers, unlike humans. Regardless, technology and AI cannot discern the right questions to ask. Asking the right questions separates successful professionals from mediocre professionals. This session will take a big-picture approach and redefine auditing in a broader perspective which will deepen your skills, perspective, and know-how. The truth is that all professionals are auditors. We will illustrate three types of audits and dive into the most fundamental aspects of our daily work-lives that need constant attention, not seasonal treatments. We will show how to become a better listener and to ask better questions!
