Finance Leadership and Value Creation

With the background of global pandemics, technological change, turbulent markets, and all manner of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity), the need for effective business leadership has never been greater. Finance brings a unique skillset and analytical methods to the table that can be adapted to turbulent times; how can finance deliver on that promise value-focused leadership? What does finance leadership look like across the business enterprise? This session will explore the changing role of leadership and what it means for the roles of CFO and FP&A.
