WHAT'S COMING UP

BUSINESS MODELS

One of 2020’s most fundamental lessons for executives is that they cannot control and predict certain events. What are today’s CFOs doing better?

 

Learn how to create value for the organization and take a more active role in the operations of the business.

 

Hear how to create flexible business models that can react quickly and decisively and discover more on business agility and capitalizing on opportunities as they emerge.

TECHNOLOGY

Many CFOs are now being forced to recognize the need for digital technologies, innovation, and to lead the finance function in expanding analytical capabilities.

 

Hear more on what areas CFOs should invest and why robotics process automation (RPA) and other workflow automation technologies are high priorities for CFOs. Learn how to make sure data is accurate and auditable and why is it so important to use advanced data analytics technologies and tools in finance and making cybersecurity a business-critical priority.

Learn how to embrace digitalization by working with CIOs, CSOs, and their teams.

GROWTH STRATEGIES

The financial crisis moved the CFO role toward a more strategic position. How can CFOs help to drive sustained growth and profitability?

 

Discover how to drive performance and profitable growth by cutting costs where possible and searching for new tactics and techniques to increase revenue. Learn how to measure, fund, and manage digital business performance and how the CFO should be involved in all phases of growth – new market initiatives, customer acquisition, M&A, and repositioning the workforce.

Hear how to create a competitive organization with investing in the team, technology, and R&D.

PEOPLE AND CULTURE

The consequences of a global pandemic, social anxiety, and economic collapse had a profound impact on employees. What is the position of CFO in rebuilding the organizational culture?

 

Hear how to lead remote teams with great success and how to rebuild the culture and team throughout the organization. Discover how to foster innovation, improve the decision-making process and increase profit with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Learn why environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are so important and how to improve communication and streamlining uncertainty between divisions.
