Growth is hard. During organic and inorganic growth, real risks and complexities arise. Unpredicted events and several megatrends are at play – shifts in demographic and global economic power, urbanization, climate change, resource scarcity, and rapid technological innovation. As a result, “getting it right with growth” is harder.

Data is the asset that provides decision-makers with real-time insight into the business, enabling leadership to make immediate adjustments when customer and market trends demand, and quickly seize on competitive business opportunities

Whether growing through emerging markets, digital or innovation with new operating models, the CFO can play a unique and critical role— providing insight, managing risk, and ensuring that companies fully realize the potential value of a given strategy. Times have changed. The role has evolved to that of a strategic partner to the broader executive team, providing real insight to the company’s growth plans.

Join your finance leader peers for this Virtual Showcase hosted by Nick Jackson, CIMA President and Director of Finance and Performance Innovation at Oracle for a session with our keynote, Vicky Pryce,  Chief Economic Advisor and Board Member, Centre for Economics and Business Research; on what’s happening at large in the economy – before we break into smaller groups for more intimate and interactive discussions on the implications for your business and how the ability to leverage data has become central to understanding key growth challenges.

Together, we hope to begin finance-led conversations that no-one else is currently having and to answer questions that no-one else is yet asking. This is not simply about staying ahead of the curve; it’s making sure finance has the knowledge and insight to lead the way.
