CFOs - Here is the New Finance Team

This week the CFOConneX network has launched the first workshop series and I am delighted to be part of this event! Thank you David Newton and the entire team!

The entire workshops series is about how CFOs can take a new spin to business intelligence; reflecting on how we are doing business planning, budgeting and forecasting. The first session was giving an overview of what this topic entails.

As a change management practitioner, for sure I am looking at the people side of these activities. As a leader we should always think about the why! What is the purpose of financial planning & analysis? In the end we need to make decisions that are pushing our business forward.

Here is an extract of the workshop covering this topic. Enjoy!

In my presentation I have covered three key aspects:

1. The purpose of business intelligence is making fast and solid decisions
2. Finance and business teams have a shared responsibility for reporting and decision making
3. A new finance team is emerging: customer centric, business enabling, connecting silos

How do you engage as a CFO with the business and contribute to the overall business success?

Register to the workshop series!
