Having had a few days to reflect on our experience at the Gartner CFO & Finance Executive Conference, here are a few key themes that continue to resonate with us: 1️⃣ “Everything is trending, everywhere, all at once, in every way.” CFOs have an abundance of choices and innovations to choose from these days, but it can be hard to discern which ones truly drive value. That’s why it’s more important than ever to clearly articulate tangible business outcomes that can be expected from a particular solution. We’re committed to doing just that. 2️⃣ “Spreadsheets have impressively low value” That’s what recent research found, yet too many organizations remain stuck in manual mode. It’s hard to overstate the drag on performance (ROIC) this creates, especially for enterprises with meaningful Capex portfolios. 3️⃣ “Too much of the FP&A team’s time is taken up by low-value work.” Tedious, manual work puts a lid on your team’s productivity. It’s why transformations are fundamentally about increasing productivity and improving outcomes rather than merely saving time. 4️⃣ “Companies need to take a more activist approach to their capital allocation and management.” We couldn’t agree more. CFOs focused on growth should actively direct (and redirect) funding to projects that will drive enterprise value throughout the year. This makes more sense than a "set it and forget it" approach. #GartnerFinance #CFO #Finance

The Gartner CFO & Finance Executive Conference is in full swing, and we’re energized by the conversations thus far. Last night, we talked with Gartner experts who underscored the need for strategic Capex management in a time when “money is no longer free.” Looking forward to more insightful discussions today and tomorrow. If you’re in Grand Harbor, MD for the conference, stop by and see us at booth #114. #GartnerFinance #CFO #Finance #CapexManagement

CFOs tend to be presented with investment business cases that include: 1️⃣ Detailed cost and revenue projections 2️⃣ Risk analysis with mitigation strategies 3️⃣ Measurable objectives and KPIs Something’s often missing however: is the investment aligned with the firm’s high-level strategy? As Gartner notes, "nonfinancial criteria are loosely and informally understood at most organizations. CFOs should make those criteria explicitly documented and understood across the executive team." Strategically-aligned capital allocation will be covered in depth at the Gartner CFO & Finance Executive Conference next week. If you'll be there, come see us at booth #114. https://lnkd.in/dcJNqdQc
