It’s Wednesday night at 10.40pm. It’d been a long day. I’d been up early that morning, in my hotel in Melbourne, as I prepare for a full day of meetings with a fantastic client we have there. We covered lots of ground in our time together, talking about current issues and the performance of the business.

I recently attended a one day training event for CPA Australia at the Art Gallery of New South Wales. It was held in their new, multi million dollar extension, located next door to the grand old building that has sat across the road from Sydney’s Domain since the late 1890’s.

If you know me, you know that I love motor sport. I’m probably a little less passionate than I once was, and don’t watch it as much as I have done in the past, however it’s still my number one sport.

When I’m working with our clients, I love it when I’m right! Not because my ego is severely lacking. It means we have a breakthrough…a real “a-ha” moment, from the client.

With the work we undertake with one of our great clients, they send us their Dashboard, each day, that summarises what has happened in the business, that day. It contains key financial and non-financial data, which they transpose from their in-house software system, and generally provide some commentary about the day’s happenings in the business.
