Be part of the next-gen CFO's team

The role of finance leaders has changed over the last 20 years. From accounting and controlling, to finance business partner to Chief value officer.

The CFO office as a Chief value officer is expected to create value for the business.

According to a recent survey by KPMG,

here are the top concerns of the CEO about the CFO and the finance office.

The Next Generation CFO Leadership program is designed keeping in mind the above concerns.

The program has 5 core modules and 8 electives (Optional modules)

The Pre Program CFO Readiness Assessment

The CFO readiness assessment helps identify areas you need to improve before assuming the CFO role. Based on the results a custom personalized plan is developed for each participant.

"My role is to help you go through the six-month program in a way that you focus on yourself, your corporate needs as well as all the learning you get from the other instructors.

Module 1 : The Strategic Business Partnership

A strategic partnership is a business partnership that involves sharing of resources between two or more organizations. The goal is to help everyone involved succeed.

The goal of a strategic partnership is to create value for each and everyone by offering information, services, and resources that the other company otherwise either has no access to or could only access through a financial exchange.

Module 2 : Accelerated Finance Leadership

It's important to know how to connect with people. Although it's outside our comfort zone, it will help in assessing different perspectives of your team members and how to categorize your team to be able to walk with them through their development plan. Knowing their strengths and weaknesses is essential to building the correct work environment.

"My passion is to help analytical professionals exactly like you with your leadership and interpersonal skills. And we've already seen from session slides that KPMG says how many of those CFOs are not good at leadership skills? Probably 41% of the week leadership skills and then weak interpersonal skills 30%. It is my mission to help finance professionals with this." - Talita Ferreira Leadership Coach and founder of Global Leadership Hypothesis
        

Module 3 : Finance?Digital Transformation?

Digital transformation in finance is the reorganizing and reshaping of finance and accounting functions using technology to recreate efficient operating systems and processes without replacing traditional systems.

While digitally-led financial transformation is essential for enterprises, many financial institutions remain in the pain of change due to various challenges.

Hence, it is important to learn the difference between descriptive and predictive analytics, how to use current business data, and the meaning behind decision science.
