FIN2501. Riding the Waves of Transformation: Insights and Actions for Today’s CFO

Hear key insights and findings from the AICPA & CIMA America’s Future of Finance Group, which prioritizes the focus on talent, need for new skills, artificial intelligence (AI), elevating business partnering, and value creation. This session is framed around the quote, “You can’t stop the waves (of transformation and change), but you can learn how to surf.” This metaphor sets the stage for discussing the critical “surf lessons” needed to navigate the waves of change successfully.

Drawing from research on the human element of transformation success, this session will emphasize that the motivation to embrace that inner game (mindset) is followed closely by the motivation to evolve your power skills (skillset) to finally set you up to grab technologies and create business value (toolset).

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify key challenges faced by CFOs in the current business environment, including talent management, artificial intelligence (AI) integration, and value creation.
  • Recognize the importance of a growth mindset in successfully navigating today’s business world.
  • Recognize actionable strategies to enhance skill sets in your organization.
