Ride The Innovation Curve. CIMA Centenary with Dr. Martin Farrar.
07/31/19 • 36 min
"Management Accountants are perfectly placed to bring collaboration from siloed parts of a business, get them talking to each other, and move innovation forward."
GBD69 War historian and Management Accounting expert Dr Martin Farrar is described as a maven, polymath and broker of information, learning lessons from the past and present to inform all our futures. To commemorate the centenary of CIMA (the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants), Martin researched and authored a revealing book called "Leading The Transformation", covering the 100-year history of the Management Accounting profession, tracing its roots back to the First World War. He tells AICPA & CIMA's Kyle Hannan about what a century of history can reveal about the profession's tradition of innovation in the face of technological transformation, and shares the insights it provides about the innovative future that lies ahead.
