To think I was arriving in Paris for the second face to face AGN International Next Leaders event when they were setting up for the Olympics and here we are watching the GB team achieve new records and currently tied 3rd on the medal table.  It’s always great to connect again with the like-minded community and whilst we have online sessions, nothing replaces being in the same room together to work through all the informative sessions. Sessions based around learning and developing the skills to become a future leader, of course a heavy emphasis on digitalisation but not only AI as digital transformation is at a critical point and the questions is, what more can we do? Whether we like it or not we must embrace tech, in many areas but specifically we discussed the use of it to enhance the employee experience, for example at the onboarding/training stage but not solely. “We need to learn to unlearn” - to be openminded and learn new skills. We can’t stand still, we need to create good habits to visualise the future as it’s closer than you think! https://lnkd.in/dyNHw-fM A fantastic couple of days plus it was hot and the wine was good 😊 just a shame about the nightmare getting home using public transport… Dafferns Chartered Accountants and Business Advisers #nextleaders #paris #olympics #EMEA #technology #team

WEEKLY UPDATE After celebrating VASS’s 10th birthday, the team have been planning some events to mark the occasion. But we have had to postpone them because there have been some fundamental changes which need to be made to the business first. It’s imperative that I am always one step ahead of everything and having a proactive view of the business. It’s so important to see what may need to change before there is the need for it. I have had to take a step back and take an unemotional decision and see where the holes are and what can be improved internally. This has meant changing team roles and bringing new team members on board. VASS will be changing our name! I will explain why at a later date but as I am investing so much into making the company as outstanding as can be, it is best that the change is made as soon as possible. So, watch this space for more information. There will definitely more than one post about this, so others will learn from where I went wrong, so they do not make the same mistakes. I am so proud of the company I started 10 years ago and in awe about how it has evolved in that time. I have a great team and couldn’t do any of this without them. From initially only offering bookkeeping and accounting services, we now offer: Executive Assistance Project Management Systems and Process Management Customer Experience Lifestyle Management Business Tech Strategic Business Coaching Finance Business Partner Operations Business Partner HR Business Partner Marketing Business Partner You can see more details here: https://lnkd.in/eVaz67b2 It’s an exciting time in our journey and I always want to be transparent. So, please come on the journey with us! #businesssupport #businesspartner #businessexperts

What business do I, a small-town girl, have being a Chartered Accountant and the CEO of a technology startup? The audacity! Now, hear me out. I was born in the township of Mdantsane and raised in a small town called Kroonstad out in the Freestate. I’d never heard of Chartered Accountancy, nor did I know how to use a computer until I was in the latter part of high school. It was many years ago, but I recall this as clear as day: one of my matric classmates mentioned that she wanted to be a CA, and our accounting teacher, a white male with a Masters in Accounting, laughed and responded, “Yeah, accounting is really difficult, don’t do it.” I could feel my heart light up. “Don’t do it? Difficult? Sign me up!” I thought. What I didn’t realize at this point was that the technology bug had also already bitten, starting with my first experience of using a computer. I spent the first few months trying to catch up with my peers, asking a lot of questions. By the time that year ended, I was top of my class, helping others navigate tech and loving every minute of it. All these moments have culminated in the here and now, leading me to where I am today. These are some lessons I carry with me: 1. Surround yourself with people who know your potential and speak into it! 2. Everything can only be new once, so do it shaking, do it afraid! You’ll be surprised at what awaits you on the other side of fear. 3. You wouldn’t have gotten the vision if you were not capable of fulfilling it!

Happy 10th birthday dear CMA! Thank you for the invitation to your celebration this morning to hear from your distinguished panels of speakers. All the CMA folk seemed motivated and energised about the next ten years which is lucky because, as discussed, we want you to: - Focus on digital industries and the AI revolution; - But don’t forget about the rest of the economy, focus on that too; - And please consider employment and climate change issues when taking decisions; - But don’t get distracted in overextending your remit. Focus on competition issues and let other policy tools do some work; - Reassure entrepreneurs, investors and businesses that the CMA has their back; - But also re-evaluate your concept of market power and shift power towards consumers. - Finally, do keep listening to your stakeholders, we have so many ideas! Looking forward to the 20th birthday celebration to find out how you get on with our requests. Fortunately you have a world leading data team who can ask AI to help solve to your rather complex optimisation problem of stakeholder management.
