unfortunately, it is the new normal – whether in business or in our personal lives. those of us who encountered different forms of technology tools and platforms during the second half of our careers still believe that effective interpersonal communication still counts for something. of course, in this era of uncivil discourse, speaking over one another has, too, become the new normal.

you’ve probably heard of lean six sigma. our manufacturing clients implemented it back in the 1990s.

i’m betting this is the first time you’ve heard of its application to the cpa world.

if you’ve been drinking the kool-aid from industry consultants who have never worked in cpa firms, you’ll likely choose differentiation. when you differentiate, you get paid what you’re worth – at least according to these experts.
