What do financial leaders need to succeed?

Recent global economic volatility has put financial leadership at centre stage, playing a much broader enterprise-wide role than ever before. Lingering uncertainty and renewed financial awareness has organizational experts predicting this shift may be permanent. CFOs and senior finance leaders face increasing demands to provide accurate information, reliable forecasts and strategic insight, all in an environment with little margin for error.

Are you and your finance organization equipped for expanded and elevated responsibilities? Are you prepared for your evolving role in a rapidly changing environment?

Original global research from IBM will help answer these questions, and more.

The Conference Board has partnered with IBM Canada to present their original research along with compelling real-life examples in a focused, practical, and interactive forum exclusively for top-level financial executives across Canada.

Based on the responses of more than 1,900 CFOs and senior finance executives in 52 countries and 35 industries, IBM’s just-released study identifies a new standard for CFO excellence – the “Value Integrator.” Value Integrators run a world-class finance organization, find new ways to integrate and make sense of mountains of new data from across the enterprise, and take on a strategic leadership role. The study will also explore how financial executives around the world have risen to today’s challenges, overcome obstacles, and delivered results.
