The Corporate Transparency Act (“CTA”) contained in these amendments comes into effect on Jan. 1\, 2024\, mandating the creation of a national database of beneficial owners of legal entities (including trusts and funds) to prevent the use of anonymously owned entities for illegal purposes (including preventing another 9/11). \nUnder the CTA\, an estimated 32 million companies\, including yours\, will need to file with the Financial Crime Enforcement Network (FinCEN) personally identifiable information of individuals who have at least a 25% ownership interest or substantial control (think officers\, directors\, shareholders with certain governance rights\, etc.) over your venture. \nIf your entity is in existence before January 1\, 2024\, you will have until January 1\, 2025 to make this filing; but if you wait to form your entity until January 1\, 2024\, your filing obligation kicks in 90 days after formation. The filings are going to be tricky and time-consuming – and willful failures to file\, or the willful provision of false or fraudulent information\, or the willful failure to file complete and accurate reports (as well as updates whenever personal information changes) is punishable by civil fines of $10k (plus $500/day) as well as 2 years imprisonment. This is going to change almost everything. \nWhat you can expect to learn: \n\nHow the CTA will affect you and your company\nHow you can personally get ready\nHow you can get your company and estate planning documents ready\n\n \nThank You Sponsors!

However\, numerous barriers can hinder the process\, impairing informed decision-making and team alignment. The Art and Science of Effective Communication in Strategic Decision-making aims to address these barriers and explore ways to overcome these pitfalls\, such as cognitive biases\, groupthink\, emotional triggers\, and lack of structured strategic frameworks. \nWhat You’ll Learn About \nThe presentation will explore an approach to structuring strategic choices. It will provide an example of a framework that provides a structured approach as a tool and explores how teams assess and align a firm’s objectives. We will explore the articulation of critical decision criteria\, the generation of diverse options\, and the systematic evaluation of these options to make informed choices. \nWhile decision-making plays a crucial role in strategy formation\, effective group communication is crucial to achieving informed decisions that build alignment\, clarity\, and commitment. The presentation covers the skillsets necessary for effectively guiding discussions\, testing assumptions\, advocating positions\, inquiring into others’ reasoning\, and updating/modifying one’s beliefs based on new information. We will explore practical techniques for fostering open dialogue\, summarizing different positions\, and learning to disagree skillfully. By honing these communication skills\, leaders foster a collaborative decision-making culture that maximizes the organization’s collective intelligence. \nAbout the Speaker \nIn 1985\, Bill Underwood co-founded Catalyst Consulting Team with Sean Gerrity\, emerging from their startup work with Boston University’s Executive Challenge Program in Santa Cruz\, CA. \nBill designs and leads leadership programs focused on organizational effectiveness\, strategic leadership\, managerial skills\, and high-performing teamwork.
