In the search for sustainable growth, US corporate leaders can no longer bank on robust GDP growth to cushion questionable investments. Investors want hard dollars-and-cents profit plans and won't settle for less.
So whose job is it to satisfy these insistent demands?
Answer: The key team heading the business--the CEO-CFO partnership.
Speaking the same language:
How America's top corporate leaders are redefining growth
With growth plans under the severest scrutiny yet, how and when the CEO and CFO talk to each other is critical. And as investors turn the spotlight towards productivity and earnings growth, this top-level partnership must match clarity of dialogue with unity of purpose. Never before has the relationship between these two executives been so important.
