About this event
In today's fast-paced business environment, where economic and business stability is not guaranteed, business agility has become a critical factor in long-term success. Agile organisations can respond faster to opportunities and challenges, ultimately gaining a competitive advantage over those slower to adapt.
Business agility can take many crucial forms, such as launching new products or services efficiently, entering new markets quickly, or adjusting operations in response to changing market conditions. It requires a flexible approach to decision-making, where organisations can quickly assess new information and adapt their strategies accordingly. Unfortunately, business agility is frequently limited by how quickly and accurately the finance functions can analyse financial requirements and forecasts. Therefore, CFOs and Financial Directors must move just as quickly as the rest of the organisation.
Join BlackLine and The CFO, as we talk to finance leaders to find out how technology has helped them build business agility and ensure they can make decisions quickly and effectively
In this webinar, we will:
- Explore what business agility means to different finance leaders
- Discuss how finance leaders have leveraged technology to help them make quick and effective decisions
- Look at how technology helps teams work cross-functionally to accelerate business agility
