Future Skills in Professional Services.
Event Information
About this Event
Ways of working in professional services firms are changing rapidly, and this has a direct impact on your organisational capability.
With the development of data analytic capabilities, automation in audit tasks, augmented decision-making and blockchain that promises to streamline bookkeeping, the skillset of the accountant, and employees in this sector, will need to evolve.
This webinar will explore our organisational capability approach and how it can help businesses plan for future roles in the industry. It also includes an overview of the market and key trends relating to current skills gaps.
In particular, we will look at:
o Data analytics for accountants
o The digitalisation of audit
o The impact of digitalisation on advisory professionals
o The digitalisation of tax
In addition, we will also share new research on current and future skills rankings that are pertinent across several sectors beyond the professional services market. This is based on responses from over 1,500 professionals in the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Who is this session for?
While this webinar is aimed at a general business audience, we would highly recommend
for L&D business leaders or decision makers who need to understand their capability gaps – this may also include those who require insights to identify and fill those gaps.
This is the third webinar in our series for organisational capability – please get in touch if you’d like to know more about our previous sessions.
