Agenda
FINANCE TRANSFORMATION
The CFO of today is facing a rapidly changing environment, increasingly due to technological development. Previously, the CFO’s responsibility was within the finance function alone, but as times are changing, the CFO now has the opportunity to deliver an entirely new value proposition. To remain at the top, CFOs have to act and capture the full potential of new technologies and implement them through inspiring leadership.
Three Main Topics will guide the conference: Upskilling a finance team, The Impact of Technology and Transforming The CFO Role.
