\n
- organizational.<\/strong> this includes upholding the status quo no matter what, a lack of strong infrastructure, a lack of insight and comparative data as to what competitors are doing, and blind succession, meaning just following in a former leader\u2019s footsteps, well, just because.<\/li>\n
- regulatory.<\/strong> it probably won\u2019t surprise you that ongoing regulation updates are a huge obstacle to innovation. with most of our time being spent deciphering what\u2019s new and what new updates to bring our customers, innovation takes a back seat. outside demands and a compressed, stressful tax season also play a role in decreasing a firm\u2019s innovation.<\/li>\n
- market.<\/strong> if you follow the market, you won\u2019t get anywhere. we need to be leaders in our industry and with our clients. if you look to see what your top three competitors are doing, and they are all staying safe in their old-school ways, then believe me, any innovation that may be possible is dying. the market isn\u2019t moving fast enough, but that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be moving the needle yourself.<\/li>\n
- financial.<\/strong> i know why many firms don\u2019t see innovation \u2013 they are still billing by the hour! it\u2019s profitable, i realize. but it\u2019s not sustainable. i wrote about this profusely in my first book and i will say it again: billing by the hour is a short-term solution to a major practice management growth issue. you will not grow as fast or as competitive as you want to be when you are still billing for every 15 minutes of your time.<\/li>\n
- technological.<\/strong> vendors have been doing an okay job keeping up with our needs. they could be doing better. clunky technology and frustrated employees can be obstacles to innovation. but tech can also inspire people to make things better. the cloud is still slow to catch on among cpas, and that keeps our tools in the middle of the road.<\/li>\n
- cultural.<\/strong> cpas often promote themselves as something they\u2019re not. have you looked at the website of any accounting firm lately? the word \u201cinnovative\u201d is everywhere. but are they truly? i seriously doubt it. cpas look at the past very well. but when we talk future, it\u2019s a different story. we know the typical personality features of a cpa \u2013 risk-averse, detailed and perfectionist to a fault. innovation calls for mistakes. when you innovate, and put yourself out there and start something new or do something differently, you will make mistakes. it comes with the territory. you must be able to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start over. review points don\u2019t grow innovators. with very little upfront training and lots of negative reinforcement, firms stifle innovation or even a little out-of-the-box risk taking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
but enough about the barriers to innovation. i\u2019m sure you are very familiar with those struggles. for both new and more established firms, there is no reason your firm can\u2019t produce the opportunity to innovate every day.<\/p>\n
our radical movement started with small firms. we were nicknamed \u201cthe agile firms.\u201d why? because we could move as the market moved. however, things have changed, and bigger firms are getting nimbler.<\/p>\n
i don\u2019t believe you have to be small to be innovative in your firm anymore. it\u2019s a mindset and a desire to be radical. we have some powerful large radical firms among us, proving that you don\u2019t have to be small to be innovative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
