You need to assess performance gaps with enough lead time to make course corrections. You need visibility into the drivers of the business, and control over the levers of financial and operational performance. In this presentation, Nick will describe practical ways to leverage information technology to enable continuous alignment of resources and opportunities with strategic objectives while ensuring compliance.

Balancing Risk and Performance with an Integrated Finance Organisation - The Global CFO Study 2008 - IBM Global Business Services In the globally interdependent marketplace, CFOs need their organisations to perform well and want to outperform their peers with consistently strong growth and big profits. They want to be superbly agile with change, tenacious with unexpected opportunities and resilient to risk. Most try to do so by letting their business units and geographies conduct Finance activities according to specialised standards and provincial preferences. But, according to a new IBM study of more than 1,200 CFOs and senior Finance professionals, this is usually the wrong approach. In this presentation IBM's David Fincher will highlight the key findings of the research and lay out recommendations for a new charter for the CFO. David Fincher Partner, Financial Management Practice Leader IBM Global Business Services A/NZ |
