Tomorrow, today

This event was predominantly for bookkeepers and accountants who use MYOB. The event opened with Gus Balbontin, former Executive Director of Lonely Planet. The theme of the event was ‘Tomorrow’. Gus spoke of how Lonely Planet had to adapt to the change of media and publishing from the ‘old media’ of papers and magazines to the ‘new media’ of the digital age where everything could be found at the click of a button. A reminder that if you do not move to meet what your customers want for tomorrow, then you will be left behind.

Customers buy holes, not drill bits.

The second part of the roadshow centred around add-ons and getting the most out of them. With a number of add-on exhibitors, this allowed me to re-acquaint myself with those I knew and those I had yet to meet. The event re-inforced the fact business needs are constantly changing. This includes accounting and financial management products. There are literally thousands of add-ons available and our business clients require us to be able to give them recommendations for these add-ons that will allow them to make informed decisions.

Leaders in Business

For this reason Foley Business Management invests time in understanding not only the needs of our clients, but the tools they require to make their businesses better to serve their clients. We are finding our services not only consulting to our clients, but to the providers of accounting and add-on software. Why? Because of our expertise in management accounting, we understand what is needed in software to make it a benefit to users. We are advising the makers of drill bits what the drill bit needs to be able to do and what it needs to do that serves the client.

• Businesses need a hole.
• Add-on providers make drill bits.
• We advise Add-on providers what is needed to use a drill bit, such as a power drill, and how the client will use it, such as in hard wood or soft wood.
