FIN2405. Your Business as the Talent Destination of Choice

According to the AICPA & CIMA Future of Finance Group, the world’s leading companies’ No. 1 challenge continues to be talent attraction and retention. Along with the pace of change, accelerating digital transformation, and redefining what value means, it is imperative for us all to think differently about how we hire and upskill talent for the best blend of capabilities and mindsets. It is also essential to clearly identify the unique value propositions and selling points to attract and retain. Join Barry Payne, director of External Relations at AICPA & CIMA, and a panel of finance leaders to identify some of the specific talent challenges they face; identify ways to promote a career value proposition to attract, develop, and retain talent; determine how they have used tools like the T-Shape Finance Professional model and the CGMA Competency Framework to identify skills gaps; and identify how programs such as the Professional Apprenticeship for Finance Business Partners and the CGMA Finance Leadership Program have been used by their companies to bridge and strengthen these skill gaps. During this session, you will hear clear examples of how the panelists have put actions into place to enhance the capabilities of their teams and attract the best talent.
