Financial Executives Survival Kit: How to Get Control of Your

Business and Take Back Your Life I Baltimore 3 Presented by Ron Rosenberg, President, QualityTalks, Inc.

These are difficult times in the business world. You're under constant pressure from the realities of the economy, the difficulties of finding qualified staff and the overwhelming weight of being responsible for the long-term success of your company. And despite your best efforts, you always seem to be running from one crisis to the next, never truly finding the time to implement all the great ideas you know will grow the business. The good news is ... it doesn't have to be this way!

This is not your standard "rah-rah you can do it!" or 'think positive thoughts and good things will happen to you" motivational speech. In fact, it's quite the opposite. In this highly interactive workshop attendees will walk away with a strategy plan that they'll complete during the session with specific and proven ideas they can implement immediately when they return to the office!

The Future Role of Finance and Accounting I Baltimore 1 Presented by Dr. Robert Howell, David T. McLaughlin, D'54, T'55, Distinguished Visiting Professor, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth

In a fast changing, highly competitive, and global business environment, the finance and accounting executive has a tremendous opportunity to make significant contributions to the long term intrinsic value of the firm, by spending much more time looking strategically forward as well as operationally backward, considering important external relationships as well as internal partnering, and focusing on non-financial metrics as well as traditional financial results.

This program will start with a discussion of finance and accounting's role in driving firm intrinsic value. It will, then, consider how finance and accounting may become operationally more efficient and strategically more effective, with particular emphasis on making the planning and budgeting process faster, cheaper, and more useful; how resources might be redeployed to become more analytic (think FP & "BIG A"); and how many firms can get much more out of their assets by significantly better asset utilization.
