** This is a special episode of Behind The Numbers and the format is different than the usual BTN episode.  This is the audio from a short TedEx style talk that was recorded at the Finance Innovation and Excellence (FInEx) Summit 2021. **

What if I told you that a company’s most valuable asset isn’t even recorded on a financial statement?

Every CEO on the planet says “our people are our greatest asset” but people are often viewed as an expense that needs to be minimized.

People are assets, not expenses.

This talk also won a FInEx Award for the category of Most Impactful Catch Phrase: “People are assets; not expenses.”

Thanks to CFO.University and AARO Middle East for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts at the conference!
