Sparking better decision-making to overcome disruption: How the office of finance can lead acceleration of the digital enterprise
I’m excited to be hosting our annual Board Day again this year, taking place over two half day virtual events on the 08th and 09th June.
Last year we took Board Day virtual for the first time, as part of series of global roadshows running in key locations around the world and featuring a fantastic line-up of expert speakers.
This year, we are very pleased to have speakers from the likes of Astra Zeneca, PwC UK, PANGAIA and many more leaders in their respective sectors, all coming together from across the region to share learnings from the past year on how to analyze, plan, adapt and succeed, and spark better decision-making to avoid disruption.
Over the past year at Board, that’s precisely what we’ve been helping customers achieve, as they’ve faced some of the biggest business challenges of a generation. Today’s challenge for enterprise leaders has now moved to how do they manage and plan for disruption all of the time? Experience tells us that it’s the progressive enterprises who have embraced this mindset, who are the ones who have set themselves up for decision-making success, based on latest data and insights, and then put agile and transformational plans in place so they can continue to move forward.
The digital enterprise is accelerating at pace. Aligning digital services with business outcomes as economic and market conditions continue to shift will remain a constant priority. Enterprises’ ability to design and deliver scenario-based and agile plans and budgets will hold the keys to success in this business environment.
It is this business landscape, where office of finance professionals are quietly taking on a more strategic and crucial role than ever before.
If last year was all about reducing the cost of operations, whilst this continues to remain a priority for finance leaders this year, so does the ability to fund growth, through new technology and business models. The digital enterprise is accelerating, but so is the digital finance function.
Finance leaders have moved on from last year and are focused on what matters now and in the future. They recognise the importance of investing in valuable finance technology, including data and analytics insights, delivered via Cloud-based decision-making platforms like Board and then hiring and developing digital skills to reshape roles across the office of finance function.
No longer satisfied to report on the past, the office of finance is setting itself up as the centre of the most important fuel for the digital age – the data, analytics, insights, and intelligence which can drive their business forward and take a leading role in co-creating the future of the digital enterprise in a data-driven world.
At Board we are fully behind and support the digital enterprise and finance acceleration underway. I look forward to seeing you all on 08 June, and we’ll talk more how you and your organisation can accelerate your own enterprise digital transformation, and how the office of finance can lead the way.
Register now for Board Day on 08th & 09th June to learn how the Office of Finance is leading the acceleration of the digital enterprise with the help of Board
