Wayne Berson, CEO of BDO USA, attributes the firm's significant growth from $600 million to $3.4 billion over 14 years to three core themes: culture, technology, and employee ownership. He emphasizes that a strong culture, fostering a sense of belonging, drives organic growth and client retention. BDO's strategic roadmap, CLIMB, places culture as a prerequisite for all operations. Furthermore, Berson advocates for viewing AI not just as an efficiency tool, but as a means to augment human capacity and enable employees to tackle more complex challenges, citing BDO's Agent Builder program as an example of employee-driven AI innovation.
