The Role of Finance in Organisational Future-Readiness and Orchestrating Business Performance 

9 September 2021 | Online | 2:00pm – 3:00pm (Singapore time)

Managing uncertainty and facing disruption has been on the minds and the agendas of visionary CFOs for years; however, the past year bewildered even the most advanced organisations. As businesses now reflect on performance and recognize the opportunity for improvement in front of them, finance leaders find themselves at the centerof the conversation. The Office of the CFO is forging partnerships across the business to support organisational resilience, and in that process are rethinking business models and strategies, ensuring agility in processes and systems, optimising resources, uncovering opportunities for efficiency, and supporting the organisational strategy to drive growth.

You will leave with an understanding of:

  • The role of finance in the digital journey
  • The shift from calendar-driven financial planning to business planning for outcomes
  • The power of cross-functional business partnerships for collaboration, visibility and accountability
  • The criticality of access to information and insightful decision-making
