DESCRIPTION
There is an innovation imperative as we emerge from the great recession and shift our focus to growth. There is also another shift happening we cal the shift change as the largest generation in history begins to retire and hand over the reigns to a new generation. This shift is against the backdrop of five fundamental shifts in leadership, learning, technology, generations and the workplace itself. The MACPA CPA Innovation Summit is an attempt to bring those leading the changes in the CPA profession together with our members to connect, collaborate and innovate. With the use of leading technology tools to support engagement and collaboration. Our hope is to create an environment of planned serendipity in a way that the act of simply registering for this event will put CPAs in the place of best opportunity in order to open doors into the developments that will ultimately transform careers and the way CPAs work. Special thanks to our sponsors and strategic partners for making this possible - Sage, CCH Wolters Kluwer, CPA.COM, Tallie, XERO, ZOHO, Intaact, Bill.com, and ThinkTank, Conferences.io for helping us shape serendipity for Maryland CPAs and beyond.TRANSCRIPT

Serendipity
Innovation is the creation of new forms of value in anticipation of future trends
"Serendipity is the faculty of finding things we did not know we were looking for."
We need to find ways to a-ract relevant innovators and edge par5cipants so that we can discover early windows into the developments that will end up transforming how we live and work. Sure, serendipity has always been important, but in a world of near-‐constant disrup5on, it becomes essen5al to
survival. – Planned Serendipity by Deloi-e
Connection #MDSUMMIT
CEOs have a new strategy in the unending war for talent. They are crea5ng more open and collabora5ve cultures — encouraging employees to connect, learn from each other and thrive in a world of rapid change. Collabora5on is the number-‐one trait CEOs are seeking in their employees. – IBM Global CEO Study 2012
The collaboration curve is replacing the experience curve
“The organizations that will become the household names of this century will be renowned for sustained, large-scale, efficient innovation.
The key to that capability is neither company loyalty nor free-agent autonomy but, rather, a strong collaborative community.”
