Message from the Publisher:

It’s all about “hard” skills, “soft” skills, and the role of technology.

This issue is about the power of the 3 C’s. As you must be wondering what the 3 C’s are, let’s start with the assertion that they play an important role in your practice development.

It’s a well-known fact that you need “hard” skills and “soft” skills to succeed. “Hard” skills are the skills you need to perform your work in the best possible manner. These include your academic training, your experience, and your professional knowledge—as well as the most effective use of the resources and tools available.

“Soft” skills are essentially your people skills—interaction with others, teamwork and communication, marketing, presentation, and networking skills. Up to now, technology has helped you enhance your “hard” skills, and to a much lesser extent your “soft” skills.

Electronic spreadsheets and tax and accounting programs help you complete your client engagements faster and easier. Telephones and fax machines have been indispensable for communication. And for effective presentations, everyone now uses PowerPoint presentations shown through an LCD projector.

But now the Internet has the potential to augment immensely both your “hard” skills and your “soft” skills, directly resulting from the combined power of the 3 C’s: Computation. By letting us take advantage of the resources of web servers spread throughout the world, the Internet greatly expands the computational power available through web-based software.

Communication. Even more remarkably, the Internet has greatly expanded our ability to communicate. Collaboration. Most important, the Internet adds a new dimension to the equation: collaboration. It’s the power to collaborate with anyone at any place that promises to have the most profound impact on your practice.

The impact of the 3 C’s on accountants’ practices is unprecedented. Thanks to the power of the 3 C’s, for the first time technology can be as helpful in augmenting your “soft” skills as it has for boosting your “hard” skills.

The first article in this issue of ABACUS, Now You’ve Got the Power of the 3 C’s, explains what the Internet offers from a perspective you won’t find elsewhere. It underscores how you can’t appreciate the mind-boggling implications of the Internet, until you understand how it completely redefines communication and collaboration.

The rest of the issue primarily explores how you can apply the power of the 3 C’s. We’ll give you a fresh look at all the innovations happening around you and how they impact your practice. If you seek stimulus for your practice, this issue of ABACUS has a lot to offer.

Sincerely,
