This document discusses the need for boundaryless finance in the new digital era. It outlines three main points: 1) Setting the context for how rapid technological changes are requiring finance to leapfrog to new operating models that can deliver value beyond traditional boundaries. 2) The new realities of real-time data, automation, and the blurring of boundaries between functions require new talent models and a focus on data, digital, and financing technology for business. 3) The way forward involves developing habits like connecting with innovators, focusing on the customer experience, and getting comfortable with uncertainty to help steer change and make boundaryless finance the new normal.
