LEAD AT SPEED
Cash has traditionally been ‘King’ for CFOs, but in a digital world has Data now taken the crown? With volumes of digital data increasing at a phenomenal pace and expected to double every two years, this presents huge opportunities for CFOs with a data driven mindset.
CFOs have always dealt with data, but technology has broadened the remit from historical financial reporting to now provide far more granular data and guidance that can drive an organisation into the future. The days of reporting ‘slightly interesting’ historical data from yesterday or last month are over as ELT’s and Boards now expect from CFOs intelligent forecasting, and CFOs now have the ability to do it.
Join this exclusive Live and in-person CFO Breakfast to understand how to leverage both structured and unstructured datasets that capture financial and non-financial data that support CFOs and organisations in making insight-driven decisions to seize opportunities and respond to risk.
