What are some of the biggest challenges when #internalaudit starts incorporating #dataanalytics? How can thinking of data analytics as a process instead of a part of a project make a HUGE difference in your success?

In this #jammingwithjason #internalauditpodcast I take a little break from the technical and professional aspects of our career to talk with my friend Sean Rosensteel about being more intentional in our living.
Many people put their head down and focus completely on only one or two aspects of their life and wake up years later wondering what happened.
It’s like going through school and only focusing on one or two subjects and come report card time realizing we failed our other courses. The problem is in the real world “failing courses” can often mean losing relationships, stress and regret.
Being intentional in our lives allows us to consider what really matters most at this point in your life, doing regular check-ins, course correcting, and finding lifelong learning opportunities and communities of like minded people in all aspects of our life.
If you’re the kind of person who wants to get the most out of life by being intentional and living a wholistic full life, then this episode is for you.

Have you had a conversation this last month that just didn’t go the way you expected??? If you’re like most people I’m sure you have. Might have been at work, might have been in your personal life … and I’m guessing with the holidays coming there are some conversations you aren’t looking forward to with family, friends, or maybe that staff member you need to deliver a difficult message to about their performance.
In this #jammingwithjason #internalauditpodcast I share how you can control any conversation, get people to take action, and make quicker, better decisions.

How do you deliver difficult messages, without damaging relationships?
Have you ever tried to discuss something challenging with an audit client, and you get some type of condescending behavior or response?
Did the conversation just not go as you had expected?
Have you, unintentionally, disrupted a key relationship because you just didn’t see eye to eye?
I understand. We’ve all been there.
Conversation you were used to having in person are now done virtually. If you are like most people you are still trying to figure out the best way to have these conversations with your staff and stakeholders now that we are working remotely.
There are ways to deliver difficult messages, and not damage key relationships along the way. In fact, it’s EASY when you use Intuitive Leadership, Neural Influence, and Mental Mastery skills, which is what I’m talking about in this #jammingwithjason episode.

Which centric approach are you following?
I’m speaking with the legendary Tim Leech about the difference between objective, risk, compliance, process, and control centric approaches … and centric is not the same as based.
Listen in at: http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason/ and learn the difference so you can start improving the value you add to your organization.
Risk-based internal auditing is objective-centric when you actually link to key objectives … a critical step most in #internalaudit forget. “Risk ranking an audit universe based on another centric model, does not risk-based internal audit make.” Yoda 🙂
When you are ready to become objective-centric and risk-based check out how you can get the step-by-step process for getting started: https://ondemand.criskacademy.com/p/certified-risk-based-internal-auditor-crbia/?affcode=105582_jpp6czlf
We’ve been talking about agile auditing for years, so why are a few succeeding and others are reluctant to embrace it or failing in their implementation?
Agile doesn’t mean faster, and it doesn’t apply to just one part of the audit process. It is a paradigm shift and one of the most important changes to #internalaudit in many years.
I am talking with Toby DeRoche, who has spent the last several years understanding exactly how to apply the principles of agile into the whole audit process in a practical way. What works, what doesn’t, what organizations are really doing that are successful, and is here to share so you can make the shift to agile auditing and avoid the painful learning curve.

In today’s episode we discuss with John Fanning (V.P. of Business Development with Integrity Risk International) how important ethics are in today’s businesses. Many companies treat ethics as a checklist and don’t seem to actively promote a positive ethical culture within their organization.
Integrity is an important trait not only personally, but on a corporate level as well. Businesses with integrity will make positive changes when problems are found.
In order to foster a positive culture within our organizations we need to stand by what we say even if short term gains may seem to suffer, because long term gains will greatly benefit.

Have you ever worked for a horrible boss? If you are like most people, a couple of faces just popped into your mind.
We’ve all worked with horrible bosses who didn’t use Intuitive Leadership, Neural Influence, or Mental Mastery … and it’s HARD to be a leader without them, and painful for the people you work with if you don’t.
I’m talking about #leadership in this #jammingwithjason episode. Technical skills and a fancy title, doesn’t make you a good leader. In fact, you may be a horrible boss and not even realize it.
What does it take to be a leader with executive presence who can navigate through the politics, the good times, and the challenging times? Listen in at: http://www.jasonmefford.com/jammingwithjason/ to find out.
