The Finance function of the future will continue to be key in driving an organization's strategic agenda and play a far wider role than in the past. The function has evolved from providing governance on transactional financial processes, to providing strategic guidance to business leaders. This expansion of responsibilities gives the Finance function, headed by CFOs, an oversight of an organization'svision and priorities. Heads of Finance are expected to drive business growth by making their operations more agile.
Our research found that 95% of CFOs cited greater flexibility and agility as their top priorities, though costs continue to be an immediate goal for a substantial majority. Increased employee efficiency and productivity can help to reduce costs, but areas in an organization's business and finance operations limit the true potential of this effort.
To maximize an organization's potential, CFOs (the Finance Function) need tools, technology and processes that can drive outcomes - and these need to come together seamlessly to deliver sustained results. We believe that the digital five forces led by mobility and pervasive computing, big data and analytics, social media, cloud, artificial intelligence and robotics will help to catalyse change through business and process disruptions.
