Disruption is nothing new, but the increased evaluation and pursuit of business automation, particularly as many inefficiencies and broken processes were exposed during the pandemic, has forced leaders to intensify their transformation efforts. Traditional approaches that rely on interpretation and extrapolation of past performance are not appropriate for an environment rife with continuous change, complexity and uncertainty. Instead, building an infrastructure for future-ready performance requires brief looks at history, current state insight, and frequent and ongoing evaluations of possibilities in the future. Finance leaders are sitting at the epicenter of this dramatic shift, given their line of sight and business partnership with leaders across the business.

In this session, we will discuss these topics and how it is driving finance leaders to focus on:

• Leveraging macrotrend data for improvement in forecasting accuracy
• Exploring and optimizing divergent scenarios for informed decision-making
• Developing systems of dynamic planning
• Providing systems of insight and anticipating possible situations and potential outcomes
