Main Conference Day 2: Wednesday 18th October

8:45 AM The CFO Perspective: Aligning CFO and GBS Priorities to Drive Transformational Results

CFOs are often the sponsors and the biggest stakeholders for Shared Services and GBS organisations and their perspectives are critical for the model’s success. Are GBS organisations delivering on their transformational promises? How can we make sure CFO and GBS priorities are aligned to drive greater business value? What are the implications when they are not? Furthermore, what are the key areas to focus on when developing a collaborative working relationship between the GBS function and the CFO? This session will bring together a panel of CFOs to share their perspectives on these and other challenging questions:

·       What are the key drivers for CFOs when implementing a GBS and shared services operating model?

·       Are shared services delivering well against the target operating model?

·       A stakeholder’s perspectives on progress, challenges, and the future of GBS
