This is the second study prepared by CFO Research Services in collaboration with ERA. In the first study, published in May 2009, senior financial executives were looking toward a more resource-conscious, less wasteful company culture. The current study indicates that thanks to cost-reduction efforts, their companies have indeed realized these business benefits.
According to finance executives surveyed by CFO Research Services, small and midsize companies are experiencing slow, moderate growth. What strategies are these companies engaging to promote continued growth? This CFO Whitepaper examines companies\' growth efforts.
De afgelopen maanden heb ik met veel CFO´s gesproken over de transformaties die hun Finance Organisatie moet doormaken om aan de veranderende eisen en wensen van Executives, managers en stakeholders te voldoen. Ligt hun focus momenteel nog op transactionele core finance activiteiten, voor de nabije toekomst is het hun ambitie om bedrijfsbreed veel meer waarde te leveren op het gebied van analyse en beslissingssupport.
Bedrijven die goed scoren op Finance Efficiëncy alsmede in staat zijn om betrouwbare Business Insight te leveren aan de diverse business units, zijn volgens de IBM Global CFO Survey 2010 aantoonbaar succesvoller op het gebied van omzetgroei, EBITDA en Retun of Invested Capital.
Ik wil graag de uitkomsten van 1500 face-to-face interviews met CFO´s met jullie delen, daarom ´share´ ik het rapport ´The New Value Integrator – Insights from the CFO Survey´.
Who is increasingly instrumental in helping CEOs and Boards make high-impact decisions – the choices and trade-offs that build or destroy enterprise value? CFOs.
Based on input from more than 1,900 CFOs and senior Finance leaders worldwide, the IBM Global CFO Study indicates that the demands on CFOs are rising and extend well beyond traditional financial control and supervision.
But in a constantly changing environment, how can CFOs provide their enterprises with a competitive edge? How can they help the business make not just faster but smarter decisions?
In the 2010 study, one group of Finance organizations – called Value Integrators – consistently outperforms their peers. They are not only more effective, but their enterprises also perform better financially.
Their secret? Driving a combination of two key capabilities – Finance efficiency and business insight – across their organizations. Although study results show that each capability provides important benefits, the highest performers excel at both.
Read the study to learn more about this multiplier effect and how to create it within your own organization.
Results of a survey I participated in at the beginning of the year around business improvement groups. An opportunity to break away from the competition during hard times !
This study examines senior fi nance
executives’ cost-management
achievements in the course of the
downturn and explores the role that
continued cost discipline will play in
midsize companies’ growth efforts in
the months and years to come.
