bissett bullet: being best > being better > being different

today’s bissett bullet: why are our clients paying us to serve them? what do they receive from us that they can’t get elsewhere for a similar or better price?

please don’t say service and partner-led attention. everyone says that. seriously, what do we deliver that our competitors do not? the secret sauce is not found in service lines or technology. it’s found in outcomes and impact.

there will always be a firm with a wider service offering, larger marketing budget, more resources and greater technology. so, let’s not try to compete on things many businesses don’t understand or care about.

today’s to-do:

the disruptors
with liz farr

al anderson has been trying to change audit for nearly his entire career and has always been “willing to try things differently.” while he’s always loved auditing – and thinks to this day that auditing can be fun – what he didn’t love was “auditing by doing it the same way every year.” however, he sees far too many firms performing audits the same way they have for decades. anderson believes that “the firms that are unwilling to change eventually are going to be history.”
