In 2023, successfully partnering with the wider business is the goal of virtually all senior Finance executives – enabling them to get a seat at the table and prove the value of Finance in driving effective enterprise decision-making. Introducing a theme that is fundamental to this year’s Exchange, this panel aims to dig deeper into how we can elevate our communication and leadership skills to build a strategic partnership and address the challenges that come with this increased responsibility. Our panelists will do so by tackling the following questions:

• How can we prove the value Finance is adding when targets and responsibilities are constantly changing?
• How can we as leaders be better at communicating our ideas for business partnering?
• How can we ensure we balance our time well between people management, traditional Finance roles, and translating our ideas into business deliverables?
• What do we need to do to make sure our analysis and suggestions align with wider business objectives?
