 With changing business models and financial needs, it is more
important than ever for finance teams to transform and drive value
for their organisations.

skills and competencies their teams require to navigate this
transformation.

relevant growth-drivers for their organisations.

environment. As a finance professional, you must know:

 How finance will operate in the future and the resources and
skills needed?

we haven’t seen before.
 Most finance organisations are recognising the need to change what
they have done in the past, modernise their infrastructure, and start
moving towards more proactive collaborative model.

 Three key questions to help professionals look forward:
 What does it mean to be a finance professional in the future?

environment is changing and how the finance team can prepare for
and respond to these changes.
