During my seminars and discussions with customers,
I’m more routinely citing the need for executive team
leadership with the vision and inspiration to drive organizational
transformation, not to manage more intensely.
Trend No. 7 requires change-agent management accountants
to motivate mid-level managers and other “champions”
to demonstrate to their coworkers that progressive
management accounting and EPM methodologies make
sense to implement. There are personal rewards and satisfaction
in explaining the importance of overcoming
social, behavioral, and cultural barriers so organizations
can take next steps.
