In this second episode of a two-part FM podcast series on skills, Gary Cox, ACMA, CGMA, a coach for businesses and individuals, describes how to create a learning plan. He recommends conducting an audit of current skills and those needed over the next three years. Making incremental progress and finding someone to support or champion you from inside or outside the finance team — or outside your company — can also move you toward your goals. In “Skills Development: Which Ones Will You Need?”, the first of the two FM podcasts, Cox discusses the in-demand finance skills of effective use of data, insights, and “really good storytelling”.
