Finance leaders are increasingly being called upon to steady the ship during periods of disruption, whether from market shocks, operational challenges, or structural change. This session offers a practical exploration of how CFOs and senior finance executives can stabilise their organisations while continuing to build long-term resilience. It also looks at the human side of leadership under pressure, and maintaining clarity, empathy, and team confidence when uncertainty becomes the norm.

Discussion Points:

• Practical tactics for stabilising finance functions in times of disruption

• Cutting through the noise: identifying the metrics that really matter in times of disruption

• Developing the personal skillset needed to navigate short-term pressures without losing sight of long-term priorities

• Embedding sustainable ways of working that protect clients, employees, and the business

• Building emotional resilience and leading with empathy during sustained periods of uncertainty
