Beyond the Financials: How Today’s CFOs Are Reshaping Organizations Oct 18, 2023

For most of the 20th century, the role of CFO didn’t exist.

A Mature Approach to Skilling: What Companies Need to Know Aug 30, 2023

Show notes

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a fourth of the American workforce will be over the age of 55 by 2024. At the same time, technology is changing at such a rapid pace that skill gaps and talent shortages are emerging at every level. To help close those gaps, business leaders should invest in a talent pool that is often overlooked: our aging workforce. And yet, Accenture research shows that only 23% of workers feel that their workplace provides them with a learning environment that promotes skill development. In this episode, we’ll explore why the onus is on business leaders to offer better opportunities for skilling — and speak to a former teacher who made a successful transition into a tech career. Our guests will be Michele Richmond, Software Engineer Associate at Accenture Federal Services; Allison Horn, Global Talent Lead at Accenture; and Aaron Skonnard, Co-Founder and C.E.O. at Pluralsight.

Companies can seize the moment and find ways to take advantage of the changing data ecosystem, or resist them and miss big opportunities.
