Finance leaders shared how they sustained core processes through immediate action, shifting from in-person to remote work, including how to complete a virtual close. Other lessons included how to strategically cut costs during uncertain times, while reducing risk and improving compliance. Leaders shared best practices for understanding and maintaining employee engagement and developing essential skills while remote, as well as for safely transitioning the workforce back to the office. Insights included learning how to adjust for headcount and pay scales for employees spanning across regions. The other focus was reimagining the future. While we may not be able to predict the future, we can work to prepare ourselves for a new normal. Business complexity will continue growing, data will continue surging, and risks, threats, and regulations will continue increasing. Expectations on finance departments to manage these challenges will continue rising, too. Fortunately, changes in technology, processes, and our organizations’ underlying cultures will enable us to address these needs. We explored how finance leaders are leading their company’s through this transformation, leveraging tools like AI-driven insights to improve forecasting and scenario analysis. Leaders shared hard-won lessons and specific, step-by-step tactics that other organizations can successfully adopt. The event is not done yet Take advantage of the many ongoing opportunities.
