Keynote: Removing the Data Disconnect
+1
MORE
Historically the roles of CFO’s and CHRO’s have been considered entirely
separate with independent and disconnected systems and sometimes competing
priorities. However the reality is that these functions are intrinsically
connected with both needing the same set of data for Forecasting, Payroll and
Reporting.

Organisations that have closely aligned finance and HR functions have seen a 10%
increase or more in operational cash flow adding a real impact to the bottom
line and an increase in employee performance and engagement.

Explore how organisations are leveraging technology to remove the data
disconnect, increase business agility and drive cross department collaboration.

Finance Transformation: What it takes to influence the strategic decisions

 * The development of the Finance function from a merely accounting department
   to a key business partner to support and influence the Company strategic
   decisions
 * The journey starts by understanding the top management expectation on the
   Finance department and the level of involvement/freedom that used to have
   (example a specific customer strategy, a new product launch, on overall P&L
   top line)
 * It continues via a series of actions (with practical examples) put in place
   that goes from management tools to an integration of different
   approach/metrics each department works with, to a creation of a simple,
   intuitive, and non-time-consuming way of sharing the financial results
 * Success in the Finance transformation, that due to the limited size in terms
   of employees (no more than 40 in those specific examples), depends even more
   on the capacity of the Finance function to build strong and trustworthy
   relationship, often going above and beyond the scope of the usual operativity
   you would expect from a traditional finance function (for example store
   check, logistic orders planning and so on, inside out of competitors within a
   customer/market)
 * Aim of the new approach is to train the business to act in a methodical way,
   where each department shares information and receives adequate support from
   Finance to allow the company to make the best educated decision with the
   information available, displayed in the most intuitive but effective way

Finance Transformation: What it takes to influence the strategic decision

 * The development of the Finance function from a merely accounting department
   to a key business partner to support and influence the Company strategic
   decisions
 * The journey starts by understanding the top management expectation on the
   Finance department and the level of involvement/freedom that used to have
   (example a specific customer strategy, a new product launch, on overall P&L
   top line)
 * It continues via a series of actions (with practical examples) put in place
   that goes from management tools to an integration of different
   approach/metrics each department works with, to a creation of a simple,
   intuitive, and non-time-consuming way of sharing the financial results
 * Success in the Finance transformation, that due to the limited size in terms
   of employees (no more than 40 in those specific examples), depends even more
   on the capacity of the Finance function to build strong and trustworthy
   relationship, often going above and beyond the scope of the usual operativity
   you would expect from a traditional finance function (for example store
   check, logistic orders planning and so on, inside out of competitors within a
   customer/market)
 * Aim of the new approach is to train the business to act in a methodical way,
   where each department shares information and receives adequate support from
   Finance to allow the company to make the best educated decision with the
   information available, displayed in the most intuitive but effective way
