In light of recent developments at UF and on other campuses, I've seen quite a bit the last couple of days about the value of external consultants. Consultants have an industry-wide perspective that should be both objective and valuable. However, we can all acknowledge that not all consultants bring the same quality to the table and there are definitely some dead-eyed transactions that go on that don't really help anyone with anything. If you're looking for a good higher ed consultant, here are my two cents. 1. Hire a consultant who cares about our industry and understands the value it brings. This may not be a consultant with a premier strategy firm that was built for industries with completely different histories and completely different operating models. 2. Hire a consultant who measures their success by the value they bring you, not by the value you bring them. If you're going to make a transaction, it might as well be with someone who wants you to succeed. 3. Hire a consulting team that you've actually met! If the person selling you the service is directly responsible for the quality of the deliverables, you'll be in better shape. Special bonus: Hire a consultant who has held a professional position in higher ed. They speak the language of your constituents.

In evaluation, communication isn't just important—it's absolutely essential. Let me share a story from my own experience. Several years ago, I was managing research on a promising reentry program. We gathered stakeholders together to hear a presentation of the results. Maybe the program could be expanded to other counties! Unfortunately, at the last minute the analyst had "upgraded" to more sophisticated methods without communicating the change. The result? Practitioners couldn't make sense of the findings. The methods were too complex and too removed from the daily reality lived by the criminal justice leadership in the room. It was clear when the meeting ended that the project would have no impact. Reflecting on this, here are three things I do to ensure smoother projects: 1️⃣ Regular check-ins. Scheduled and outlined in the Statement of Work, these check-ins ensure continuous communication and alignment between all parties involved. 2️⃣ Structured agendas. To prevent crucial points from slipping through the cracks, I've adopted formal agendas for our check-ins, ensuring that all necessary topics are addressed. In the above project we spent all of our time during check-ins talking about issues that popped up in the more complex projects, which is part of the reason this change slipped through the cracks. 3️⃣ Key Decision Points: By including these in contracts, we establish clear milestones for decision-making, allowing for flexibility while ensuring alignment with clients' needs. In my anecdote above, the researchers believed they were enhancing the project's value, but they didn't understand our needs well enough to make the correct call. Through communication we can avoid these miscalculations. #Evaluation #Communication #LessonsLearned #Research #Transparency

In our recent webinar ‘Finance & Accounting Market Insights – Asia Edition’, Youni N. (Associate Director, Finance & Accounting) highlighted a dynamic job market in Hong Kong. Within the junior to mid-levels, it’s a candidate-driven market, with professionals securing multiple offers. Conversely, the market is more job-driven for senior-level talent.

Congratulations to Accounting @ Adelaide Business School academic Associate Professor Kevin Li and co-authors Professor Wen He (Monash University) and Associate Professor Yi Si (Xi'an Jiaotong University) for their publication titled “Is Auditors’ Migration Status Associated with their Performance?” in European Accounting Review. Their work investigates whether audit quality is associated with auditors’ migration status at the time of their entry to the job market after obtaining their academic degrees. Moving from less (more) to more (less) economically developed regions is termed as upward (downward) migration. Using a large sample of auditors in China, we find that upwards (downwards) migrating auditors tend to deliver higher quality (lower quality) audits than nonmigrating auditors. The association between migration status and audit quality varies predictably with auditor and client characteristics. Upwards migrating auditors are more successful in their career development than local auditors, and investors and clients appear to understand the varying audit quality provided by migrating auditors. Overall, our results are consistent with the hypothesis that employers underestimate (overestimate) the ability of upwards (downwards) migrating graduates in the recruitment process.

Master of One or Jack of All? What's Your Strategy? In my opinion, is it better to be a jack of all trades rather than a master of one. For example, mastering a subject from 0 to 90% might take you a year. Yet, going from 90% to 95% might take you another 6 months, and to be the best, to give 100% might take you another 2 years. Plus, being a master of one, means more competition, more stress. It also depends on various factors, including your career goals, industry norms, and the specific job you're applying for. Here are some considerations: Job Requirements: Some positions require a breadth of skills, while others prioritize deep expertise in a particular area. Review the job description carefully to understand what the employer is looking for. Industry Standards: In some industries, such as technology or digital marketing, having a wide range of skills can be advantageous because these fields are constantly evolving, and versatility is highly valued. However, in other fields, such as medicine or law, specialization is often more important. Career Stage: Early in your career, it's common to have a broader skill set as you explore different roles and industries. As you gain experience and identify your strengths and interests, you may choose to specialize in one area. Market Demand: Assess the demand for your skills in the job market. If there's high demand for specialists in your field, specializing may lead to better job prospects and higher pay. Personal Preference: Consider what you enjoy doing and what you're passionate about. If you're genuinely interested in a particular skill or field, specializing in it can lead to greater job satisfaction and success. Adaptability: Having a diverse skill set can make you more adaptable to different roles and industries, which can be beneficial in a rapidly changing job market. It's essential to strike a balance between having a breadth of skills and developing expertise in areas that align with your career goals and market demand. Additionally, tailoring your resume to highlight the most relevant skills for each job application can increase your chances of success. Are you master of one or Jack of all? Which one do you choose ?
