At Kaufman, Rossin & Co., we're doing what some might say is impossible - helping accountants tap into their creativity!

With our partners we held a Blue Ocean Strategy workshop that resulted in more than a dozen innovative ideas.

But even more rewarding has been our 2010 Innovation Challenge, a summer-long team competition for future leaders to develop impactful, innovative new ideas for our business. 17 teams competed and presented business cases to management, and 7 have proceeded to the final stage - developing full business plans for approval. They are learning creativity, teamwork, leadership!

Ah, creativity! That's why we named our company "Creative Energy Options". It is when we can get past the blocks of old, outmoded thinking and feeling that next level creativity shines. We help our colleagues at our own company and those we work with open up the logjams of behavior patterns often handed from generation to generation that keep us stuck in the past with those wasteful sayings like "better safe than sorry" or "it is has ALWAYS been the way so it must be right".
