CFO Boardroom: Guiding Strategic Decision MakingCFOs are taking on a more strategic decision-making function, and increasingly relying on fi nancial planning to guide overall corporate strategy.

The fi nance transformations of years gone by focused primarily on savings: cutting costs, gaining effi ciencies, and streamlining risk management. In today’s fast changing and competitive environment, it is that and much more. Like the CFO position itself, fi nance transformation includes a new focus on enabling corporate strategy, capital agenda and competitive advantage in the marketplace.

With that in mind, this year’s closed door CFO Boardroom will help participants improve the value they offer their business, by facilitating a peer network with interactive discussions on the following key topics:
