About CFO Outlook
If we all agree companies need to be more networked. Be process oriented and act with data insights – why is it still so hard to achieve? This summit focused on just that – how companies – from a finance perspective – can enable better insights faster. More accurate data sooner. How does finance need to evolve to achieve that? Which competences? What operating models? What does end-to-end mean?
EBG founder Anna Bjärkerud have a behavioral science degree. The company base all summits on the fact that change management is always key.
EBG further focus on the fact companies are to a large extent still organized in a way that was necessary during the industrial age. In silos. Then it was crucial that each individual knew what he/she needed to do and in what way and how it was examined if this was achieved according to plan.
This is not how companies can act and be organized ahead if granular insights and proactive business insights is what is the new corporate gold. Make sure to >>register to meet with a fantastic and open minded group of individuals in Stockholm!
