What Finance should be, but rarely is…
If Finance still wants its place at the boardroom table, it should reinvent itself and give substance to the promise of becoming a true business partner. Although a growing number of CFOs are well aware of the challenges that the finance function is facing, in reality, nothing much changes.
Meanwhile, the clock is ticking. In this era of digital transformation, companies, across industries, are being forced to shift faster and grow smarter in many different ways. New business models arise, new market entrants – often with a more low-weight cost structure – move quickly and disrupt businesses faster than ever before. To survive in this highly volatile and uncertain environment, businesses have to reinvent themselves to deliver customer value that really matters. And Finance is no exception to this rule.
