Panelists Include:
-------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Today’s CFOs face an environment of increased competition,
heightened speed of change and increased expectations from key
stakeholders to drive improved performance. At the same time, CFOs are
being asked to do more with less. To succeed today, CFOs need to
create an agile, service-oriented, value-creation organization.
The CFOs who will succeed in this environment will be those who grasp
the evolving finance skills they will need to drive value for the
overall organization while understanding how they will optimize the
finance resources they have.
Engage with a panel of CFOs and other advisors who will share their
perspectives and strategies CFOs can apply to build high performance
finance teams. Key discussion topics will include:
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
* How do CFOs create an effective business partnering culture
between their finance team and other functions that finance
supports?
* What critical competencies are required to create a finance team
that can support the new demands of finance? What changes to
finance’s organizational structure should be considered?
* What strategies can one apply to shape and evolve their existing
team while ‘keeping the lights on”?
* How can CFOs leverage technology to create finance efficiencies
and redeploy their team to higher value-added roles?
