The CFO Technology Summit:
Value Driven Innovation
October 28-30, 2007
Hyatt Regency O'Hare
Chicago, IL
This conference examines how the CFO can drive business growth and integrity using new business practices, organizational structures, and management technology. In hard-hitting sessions led by CFO editors, business practitioners, and industry thought leaders, we will examine an integrated portfolio of topics:
- The finance functions at many large companies today are very efficient. But are they effective? How can innovation in financial management processes and systems help?
- How can CFOs use new tools and frameworks for supporting the business with fact-based business analyses and scenario modeling?
- How can CFOs ensure that tech investments actually supply managers at the front lines with sound and relevant decision-support?
- Innovations in GRC (governance, risk management, compliance). Techniques for enhancing information quality and delivering insights on external and internal business environments.
- The pros and cons of automating compliance.
- Does it pay to create a single view of risk and compliance oversight across the enterprise?
- How can GRC systems work alongside BI (business intelligence) and CPM (corporate performance management) systems?
- Innovations in BI processes and systems to boost revenues, cut costs, delight customers, and ensure stable, predictable, and logical processes and controls.
- What questions are smart CFOs asking when they assess the potential ROI and strategic value of new BI applications?
- Innovations in resource analytics and customer analytics to anticipate and meet the needs of multiple customer sets. How are best-practice CFOs and CIOs investing to cement lifelong relationships with the most profitable customers?
- Innovations in business practices and structures that address the risks, opportunities, and complexities of globalization. How to balance centralized control of business activities with the need for local control? How to change the finance function to support global operations?
