Wrong Proxy for Premium Serving Cheapification

When I had finished my MSc degree, there were few senior roles I had applied as a graduate.

To assess for these roles; companies used to do assessment days made of case studies, team work exercises, psychometric tests, generic and professional interviews. The time I had graduated was a quasi crisis time.

Anyone who has done SWOT an analysis will easily spot that nowadays, there is certainly deterioration in this being a big  T.

M & As - Small versus Networking Organizations

As having experience in both big and small organizations; I always found specialization to be much higher in big ones whereas small ones incentivizing more of innovation. I believe this is one reason why we don't see
many M & As anymore. In addition to small organizations we have networking organizations mainly made of freelancers of different areas based in sub - office letting of same location is a cost effective way of doing business.

Maybe private equity is going to carry on this trend as a way to minimize costs.

Value Adding - Management Accounts

Studying for CIMA exams at four different levels has been one of the challenging side of life but equally has thought useful things.

One of those is "Value Adding Activities" of organization. After being at senior finance roles in four different industries; credit control is seen the most value adding activity of any organization. Executives favor it. I think that should change into more goodwill focused activities, which are the ones closer to corporate social responsibility. Be minimizing externalities, environmental concerns, ethical codes like the ones CIMA has etc.
