many radicals have already made the shift to pricing by value or a fixed price agreement. yet, they are still tracking time.<\/p>\n

when we value our team on an hour, it leaves almost no time for innovation to occur. an incremental shift could be to allow for a certain number of innovation hours per week. however, once again, this is a huge limit on creating an innovative culture.

\ndepending on who you ask, there are a bazillion ways or categories of innovation. in my first book, i had a very linear way of looking at the outside influences that were happening to my firm, and i outlined them in the four tenets. now i believe innovation can happen in every inch of our practice. it\u2019s gone beyond technology or the cloud, communication or social, pricing, process, or experience. innovation has found its way into our overall business model.<\/p>\n

remember anthony\u2019s third model of effort: strategy (changing the essence of a company). its power is going to come from new cultures that create products instead of selling time because they will have continuous innovation and ideas built into their dna. we must move from a culture of delivery to a culture of learning. firms will have a financial data focus, but what we will end up selling will not look like what we sell today.<\/p>\n

today i believe the four tenets and the fifth tenet (the business model) aren\u2019t a beginning or an end to innovation. they are principles that need to be applied to specific products within a cpa firm, and consistently improved. those specific products are ones we are more familiar with, and those that we are not, such as blockchain or internet of things (iot).<\/p>\n

before we can really dive into the fifth tenet, let\u2019s explore innovation. everybody wants it, but not everybody has it. there are many formulas to create it, but how many are successful?<\/p>\n

what are the barriers to innovation?<\/strong><\/p>\n

i don\u2019t have to tell you that you can suck the life out of anything innovative more quickly than you allow it to spring to life. in accounting firms, innovation isn\u2019t usually in our nature. barriers to innovation and inspiration are everywhere and can creep up on you, even when you think your firm is \u201cinnovative.\u201d here\u2019s a starting list of how these barriers play out in a typical firm:<\/p>\n
