What does it mean to build a strategic finance function?

We sat down with Chris Porter, Director of Solution Marketing at Prophix to discuss our upcoming webinar, Strategic Finance: How Your Team, Technology, and Culture Drive Performance. We asked Chris a few questions to get the inside scoop on what to expect out of this 60-minute session with Howard Dresner, CRO at Dresner Advisory Services, Bona Allen, CFO at Kajima Building and Design Group, and Steve McKiddy, CFO at Greenleaf Trust.

Take a look at what Chris had to say ahead of the June 21 webinar.

Strategic Finance Webinar

Who should attend the Strategic Finance webinar?

The webinar is designed for finance leaders—whether you’ve taken the leap and started your finance transformation, are thinking about starting your finance transformation, or you’re in the thick of it, there are takeaways for everyone.

Howard is going to share the data behind the impact of finance digital transformation—and how you can foster a decision-ready culture. If you’re early on in your finance transformation journey, getting buy-in across the organization can be difficult – but with the data and insights that Howard shares, you’ll be equipped to start the conversations and push your transformation ahead.

What are the top 3 takeaways from the webinar?

Without giving it all away (we like an element of surprise!), there are three main takeaways finance leaders will leave with from this webinar:

  1. How your finance and accounting teams, together with the right technology, can foster innovation that drives performance and leads your organization confidently into the future
  2. How to leverage technology as a value creation mechanism and strategic component of your overall corporate goals
  3. How Financial Performance Management (FPM) technology can elevate your finance and accounting teams to support strategy and lead the business forward

What perspective do you expect Dresner, Kajima, and Greenleaf Trust will provide?

We have three influential finance leaders joining us who have decades of combined experience to share.

Howard Dresner, an expert on what makes finance departments operate effectively, has worked with thousands of clients. We’re planning to discuss how to help CFOs figure out when it’s the right time to invest in FPM technology.

Bona Allen, a leader of a global construction company, has built a performance-driven culture across geographies. He’ll share his perspective and experience on how you roll out technology and gain adoption across a global company.

Steve McKiddy has 20 years of experience in finance and brings a wealth of knowledge across industries. He’ll share how his role as CFO has a strategic seat at the table, providing financial guidance and broad counsel to the leadership team.

Why are you excited to host this panel discussion?

Howard is a pioneer in the industry, Bona is global CFO that is actively involved with his peers, and Steve is strategic CFO with experience in complex multi-national firms. Together they continue to push the Office of the CFO to new heights, elevating the value it brings to organizations. Having these three finance leaders share their insights with our audience is going to be a memorable experience for everyone involved.
