Upcoming Roundtbale:

With unyielding headwinds of economic and market volatility projected for 2023 and beyond, CFOs need more fact-based insights and better tools for controlling variables across the value chain to prevent failing forward. Lenses on business models must see deeper into cause and effect while simultaneously improving understanding and predictability of demand-side market dynamics. Data can be the kingmaker if it's accessible and structured well enough to enable precise planning and clear forward visibility. Join your peers and leverage the collective wisdom of CFO Alliance Members in a highly interactive learning environment where problem solving approaches to data fragmentation will produce a better playbook for Finance to lead process transformation and growth.

Learning Objectives:

• Finance Leading IT Change - Setting the data roadmap from the finance function toward IT, ensuring the tail doesn't wag the dog.
• Expectations Alignment - Getting finance's responsibilities settled upfront on selection decisions; defining the difference between individual technology application and role as a central data source.
• Team Capabilities - Designing the capability set of your team to efficiently develop and maintain processes in a state of constant fragmentation

Program Deliverables:

1. Key Q&A checklist for finance's role and responsibilities in technology decisions
2. Targeted finance skillsets and capabilities for data management and process development
3. Examples of when integration should be prioritized (solid process vs. automation investments)
