About the Presentation: “Riding the Waves of Transformation – Insights from the Future of Finance”
CFOs and Finance teams will be in the driver’s seat in the 5th Industrial Revolution according to Gartner. This has been validated by the latest research from AICPA-CIMA that says we can expect rapid and highly accelerated changes across industries, including accounting and finance. In other words, the waves of transformation are getting bigger and coming faster. To succeed in this rapidly evolving landscape, accounting and finance professionals must learn how to ride these big waves of transformation.
This session will cover the latest trends and issues and the new mandate for finance and accounting pros to move into a proactive role as the ‘Chief Future Officer’, becoming a value partner to the business. The key to this emerging role lies in the mindsets, skillsets and toolsets required to ride these big waves. We will cover the latest research and resources along with practical examples from our Future of Finance Leadership Advisory Group. You will learn how to apply these insights to redefine and reinvent your finance operation and career to thrive in the Next Normal, Now!
