Strategy and innovation

Someone's intelligence can be measured by the quantity of uncertainties that he can bear”. By Kant's maxim, CFOs would break the frameworks of IQ tests.

Can emotions be measured? And engagement? Chief Financial Officers are appointed on the strength of their talent and technical solvency, but they stay for their love of the company.

Mergers, acquisitions, alliances and new collaboration formulas, such as the consortiums promoted by the European Funds, were unthinkable three years ago but today form part of daily life in the CFO's office.

From controller to ally. CFOs cannot shrug off the stereotype of them being blockers and bearers of bad news. But the role of the CFO has been enriched within the organisation, with their offices becoming spaces for advice and planning, and for driving transformation and digitisation.

The CFO is emerging as a key figure in organisations. An intelligent combination of prudence, anticipation and 360 vision that has been essential to weathering the perfect storm of the last three years.

What differentiates a good chief financial officer from an outstanding one? Their succession plan

The Chief Financial Officer feels the solitude of the goalkeeper before the penalty, as was said in the popular novel by Peter Handke The growing complexity of the role means it is now more necessary than ever to weave a professional network to support the Financial Director in their difficult mission.

It's not easy to be a CFO. This function is becoming ever more complex and increasingly visible. As was explained at a CFO conference a few days ago: “every day we are given something new to do”.

The CFO and the CIO are called upon not only to collaborate but also to integrate their roles by bringing them closer together through a new, collegial and business-centric relationship. How can we make this collaboration more efficient and fruitful?
