Every year accountants successfully navigate a mountain of regulatory change, and most of them don’t even realize how amazing they are at change management. Managing change is their superpower … as long as the change is forced on them by a regulatory body. Self-imposed change is just intentional risk-taking. Once accountants recognize that their superpower of change management works equally well with intentional risk-taking, they can leverage their superpower to identify passions, craft culture, and unlock profit. 

Learning Objectives: 

• Summarize the ways accountants respond to externally imposed changes against the ways they respond to self-imposed change 


• Identify the similarities between self-imposed change and intentional risk-taking


• Recognize the interplay between intentional risk-taking and discovering one’s passion 


• List how intentional risk-taking can strengthen or modify corporate culture 


• Outline the relationship between intentional risk-taking, creating value, and generating profit
