Tracks at a Glance

Our topic-focused agenda covers the mission-critical priorities of finance leaders - access our Conference Overview to stay ahead of what this conference has to offer. 

Track A

The CFO Mandate: Translating Revenue Opportunity Into Realized Profit

Today marks a time when uncertainty is at a peak — trend lines across major business transformation, market competition, economic uncertainty, employee power in the labor market, capital inefficiency and executive confidence indexes are at an all-time high. CFOs are being asked to stabilize company performance and help the company translate revenue opportunities into realized profit — at a time when costs are outpacing revenue. This track covers topics to help CFOs with their mandate, including cost differentiation, growth investments, working capital, integrated planning and target setting.

Track B

Digital and Continuous Change Implications on Finance Transformation

More than half of finance transformations fail. The pace of change, coupled with the speed of advancements in digital technology, is forcing finance to continuously reinvent itself. Finance transformation is no longer a project with a defined start and end date — it now must be managed differently, instilling a culture of continuous improvement and a new way of thinking about process excellence, all while implementing new technologies. This track covers process excellence, continuous improvement and digital technology.

Track C

Reshaping Finance Talent and Teams for the Future

Many of today’s roles in finance will not exist in 2025. Defining and reshaping how finance will evolve necessitates an understanding of new digital capabilities, the impact of technology and a clear view of where finance’s future comparative advantage lies, especially as analytics teams spring up across the company. This track covers topics such as digital finance competencies, the impact of artificial intelligence on finance and finance analytics.

Track D

(Re)Building the New Finance Organization

There are many finance organization changes in flight today — including the increasing prevalence of centers of excellence, the thinning out of business finance teams and shifts to moving more activities from the middle office into shared services centers. In isolation, each change is good, but the fragmentation of these efforts leaves Finance at risk of breaking critical process and being wholly inefficient. This track answers the critical question of what the right delivery model and organization structure for finance is as we move toward 2025, and covers topics such as centers of excellence, future of finance organization structure and shared services.
