During this session Marcus will share how Volvo Group Trucks Operations (GTO) has developed since the past until now and what the visions are ahead for the finance function. Volvo GTO have initiated Business Control 2.0 with the aim to free up time and collaborate across the business using trustworthy data doing so.

Why?

Then: Finance were calculators working with excel and PC trying to stay ahead and wanting to free up time and become a business partner

Now: Finance still wanting to free up time and strengthen the end to end perspective in the controller role

Ahead: Finance being data literate persons with the ability to adapt to changing environments, gain insights, communicate and engage across the organization

How do you do it? How do you transform in an environment that may still operate in silos and is constantly changing?

Let’s discuss:

  • In what ways are data based insights becoming easier to access, analyse and communicate and what value does it bring?
  • How is and will robotic process automation, advanced analytics and artificial intelligence impact business control?
  • What will happen to the business controller roles and activities when activities are being changed or removed?
  • How are you able to take an end to end perspective and help support a multitude of functions in need of more holistic insights?
  • What role can and should finance and controllers take ahead?

We will involve You who join us live and all who register will receive the slides and recording. The webinar is free of charge to join but require registration,
