At AIS, we believe innovative accounting isn’t about designing more creative P&L statements. It’s about using your software to help your people, your customers, your supply chain.
For example, when you automate things—like giving staff an easy “all-in-one-place” view to customer activity and status—it brings pragmatic results like quality service and customer retention, which improves net profit. And it supports your commitment to treat people well.
1. Do no harm
This is the first priority. Ensure that your customers are cared for, ensure your employees are cared for, and be aware of the metrics that support your quality.
2. Create well-being
Ask wide-open questions. How could life be better for consumers? For participants? How can this workflow be optimized and automated? Leverage software to add lightness, kindness, balance, and profit to make things function well.
3. Build self-reliance
When you add software, consider the flexibility and community resources built in, versus dependence on the vendor. Get all you need and only what you need, but ensure you can change and expand. Use its full capacity; keep it up to date with your needs. Maximize the value you receive over time. Your software should strategically leverage your investment over time.
4. Assess often
Use your software to look deeply at what’s actually going on. Set up alerts to signal changes in sales volume or to validate quality. Automatically monitor your inventory flow, your computer usage, your people’s suggestions—so you can tune things and put systems in place to have what you want to occur, occur. Be informed so you can shift in response to brilliant ideas and external changes.
5. See the whole
View the system as an interdependent whole. If you focus on optimizing one department and ignore another, then the other can break when weight is put on that area. Deploy software tools and data to foster opportunity, responsibility and problem solving among people at all levels. This level of care also makes it easier to hire solid people and keep them with you.
6. Be accountable
True accounting goes beyond finances, profit, taxes and earnings. Use your software to track values-based metrics. Things not normally on the books can become traceable assets and liabilities to monitor and improve. For example, your preventative maintenance, your service call response time, or the amount of non-renewable resources you use.
7. Be transparent
Use your software to facilitate open communications about what’s important. With distributed projects, employees, and customers, technology gives easy cooperation and efficiency. In the old days it was confidential ledgers. Today it’s open accountability, “What lot number is that from?” “What’s our response time for order fulfillment?” “What’s our environmental footprint?”
