Thinking inside, outside and without a box - Workshop 2016

Has your experience as an accountant been guided by a fixed mindset? A mindset that can often limit creativity and development, where you find yourself relying heavily on past experiences to support the recommendations and decision you make at work. If so, it is time to look to new horizons and find ways to step away from thinking 'inside the box' and progress to thinking 'outside the box' and finally to thinking 'without a box'. Learn how you can reach the ‘box-less’ state by overcoming the three most powerful mind forces and how, in doing so, you can transform the disturbances that the 2016 storm may bring into a positive ‘ROI’ for a successful year ahead!

Companies are expected to face a myriad of challenges in 2016, triggered by a leaner workforce, moderating Singapore economy, weak global demand and volatile markets.

With more global competition at our doorsteps, the pressure is on for accounting and finance professionals to ensure they can continue to add value to their organisations and increase their employability. How can accountants become better business partners in their companies? What are the critical soft skills needed to stand out as a top performer?
