Making the finance function more efficient and dynamic: Moving away from a reactive/ analytical steering approach and towards a proactive/ predictive corporate performance management – that is the goal for many CFOs in order to convert the finance function into a value-adding part of the company.
Suitable transformation initiatives need to be identified to lay the foundations for change in the organization.
