Managing For Growth: Increasing Shareholder Value Through Focused Accountability

Event Date: June 21, 2018 Event Time: 7:30 - 10:00 a.m.

Featuring: Neville Joffe, Creator, AME Learning System

It’s common for employees to suffer from the “Silo Syndrome”. This means that their only frame of reference relates to the responsibility in their department with little regard to how their actions might impact other areas of the business. Consider this example: sales representatives tend to focus on the value of invoices generated through their efforts with little or no consideration to increasing costs, inventory levels, extended payment terms etc.

There is however a way to influence all employees to be more mindful of how their actions impact other resources in a business. Furthermore, if the incentives are appropriately designed, they will drive the right behaviours that will eliminate a silo thinking mentality.

Neville Joffe is the creator of the AME Learning System, a resource providing an innovative instructional approach that helps accelerate the teaching and learning of foundational finance and accounting to assist companies with their analysis and strategy.

During this fast-paced, interactive session, Neville will share with you best practices while opening your mind to a new way of thinking about how Key Financial Indicators can be used as tools to drive the right behaviours in your organization. The result? A win-win solution for shareholders and employee performance.
