Program Agenda and Learning Objectives

When improvement ideas fail to generate action, managers and their organizations incur the costs of inefficiency, non-compliance and outright waste. In this fast-paced program, you’ll learn proven steps used to ‘sell’ improvement ideas that come from your audit, compliance, fraud risk and general management projects.

We’ll present a deep dive into this important topic – leaning heavily on the work auditors and similar improvement experts perform every day. Using real-world case-based examples, you’ll practice the skills in small team exercises throughout the day. You’ll leave with proven, practical, ‘how-to’ action ideas to use right away on the job. Participants will earn 8 CPE credits in Auditing (NASBA Sponsor number 108226)

Planned Topics Include:

• Lessons from the masters on selling ideas and driving needed change
• How to address and overcome resistance to action in our own business behaviors
• Why others resist improvement ideas – unless it’s their idea!
• Utilizing ‘Point of View’ techniques in preparing for improvement discussions
• Where audit-based Root Cause Analysis fits into improvement – and how to use this powerful technique to overcome resistance and drive change
• Framing, anchoring and permission – the triple crown of influence discussions
• A Ten-Step Road Map for Selling Audit Ideas
• Physical presence – how to speak, stand, sit and behave to reinforce your ideas
• Using Internal Consulting Skills on projects to demonstrate measurable value

Special note to all managers and staff:
While the skills covered in this event are directed towards professionals with audit roles, they apply equally well
to any manager or employee interested in influencing others.
