The Many Roles Of The Modern CFO – The Diversus Health Approach
This roundtable is part of The OPEN MINDS CFO Consortium developed to provide executives with the tools and abilities to strategically assess and position their organizations for long-term sustainability and growth. The consortium is open to all Elite members, to learn more and sign up, visit https://openminds.com/store/cfo-consortium/.
The role of the CFO is changing. In a modern organization, strategic planning is at the top of the hierarchy of needs, while administrative tasks are now rote. With this a new face of the CFO, as a change agent, and strategic leader, has been emerging. As the CFO more closely aligns with the CEO, this leadership duo is more accurately able to identify, model, and assess opportunities. This shift in the structure of the organization and utilization of the fiscal department as a catalyst for change will position your organization for successful sustainability.
Executive attendees of this session will learn:
- Understand the market trends that are impacting the role of CFOs in specialty provider organizations.
- Identify the key roles of the post-pandemic CFO.
- Discuss opportunities to transform the finance department to meet the changing sustainability demands faced by organizations.
