Diversity is key to building talented teams for the future. Progressive entities with national and global presence must work to create a diverse team to stay viable and successful. The workplace, workforce, and customers are constantly changing, and it is essential to establish diversity to balance productivity and a sustainable workforce. Communities, businesses, and companies are also changing; therefore, embracing a diverse workforce will foster inclusiveness for success, profitability, and competitiveness.
We may all may be confronted with what the true secret to transformation is from time to time. Implementing new technology, going digital, or hybridizing your workforce may have taken a lot of time and resources and is no small feat to endure. But we cannot overlook what transformation means for our employees and what techniques we can foster to help them evolve, too! In the era of the Great Resignation or Reshuffle, having knowledgeable, autonomous, and accountable employees will not only save you time and money but also peace of mind throughout your own financial journey and personal or professional growth. In order to promote real financial impact in your organization, you need to become your own Agent of Transformation and guide your team to follow suit.
The CFO role has rapidly matured from a fiduciary accounting position to being the forefront leaders of operative trailblazing – projecting the path to which the company evolves. Not only do CFOs remain responsible for the financial actions of an organization but forecasting the company’s fiscal strengths and weaknesses while proposing corrective actions has become the norm. As well-rounded executives, CFOs should affect an environment of sustainable profitability and overall progressive value creation. Please join us in this executive interview with the CFO of Smokey Bones Bar & Grill, Nicole Milnthorpe, as we explore strategic agility and the aspects of a well-rounded executive leader.
Environmental, social, and governance initiatives have continued to gain traction, especially when new shareholders are looking to invest. Although this latest metric comes with a variety of practices and challenges, socially and environmentally conscious company decisions continue to progress through the ranks – and the finance department is uniquely positioned to drive the changes. Please join us in this executive interview with CFO & EVP of Meritage Homes, Hilla Sferruzza, as we dial in on what this new metric is and the impact it can have on your financial forecasts.
The role of the finance profession has changed significantly in the past few years due to the emerging technologies that have simplified many basic tasks, creating opportunities for finance people to focus their efforts on getting involved in daily operations. This means that the finance people should be comfortable interacting with members of all areas, bringing the financial perspective when discussing business issues, and generating ideas to achieve organizational goals. This will improve the perception of the finance team, presenting it as a true business partner. As part of this evolution, our profession should take ownership of their own careers, understanding that they should grow and advance by achieving their own defined career goals.
World leaders have formally agreed to an overhaul of international tax rules that would impose a new global minimum tax on business profits of 15 percent. This international agreement, signed by 140 countries (US included), also intends to update international tax rules to reflect the realities of the digital era.
For the first time, there would be a minimum corporate tax rate applied around the world (set at 15%) so multinational companies will have less incentive to move their operations to low-tax jurisdictions and tax havens. It would affect multinationals that have been paying few or no taxes in the last decade. With budgets strained after the COVID-19 crisis, digital tax has been a key aim throughout the negotiations for the U.S. Multinationals while this global initiative is coming from the G20 most powerful nations worldwide.
Why is it essential that an organization continues to innovate even when faced with a “trifecta” of disasters? Peter Drucker is credited with saying; “if you don’t stay ahead of the pace of change, you are toast”. In other words, innovate or you die! I would like to share with you how Pace Center for Girls was able to focus on innovation and growth over the last 2.5 years in the midst of a pandemic, racial and social unrest, and economic uncertainty. I believe an organization’s strongest asset is its talent. If your talent mindset is focused on the disaster, you are unable to innovate. This presentation will walk you through three major steps we took to change our team’s outlook during a global crisis to ensure we continue to innovate and grow.
If you have critical data – someone wants it. As a CFO, you don’t have to be an expert on the latest cyber threats or how best to protect your assets and data. However, critical awareness and inquiries to your CISO and team can position you to strategically implement the best cybersecurity procedures for your organization. In this presentation, we will explore the main points of contention that finance leaders will meet when it comes to cybersecurity and best practices from within and outside of your business.
One of the only constants in business is that your company must continually change and adapt to survive. Change Management is not a new concept. However, in the 21st Century, companies need to evolve beyond the age-old cliché of Change Management to Change Leadership. To efficiently implement change and capture all of the benefits associated with the change you want to make, employees must want the “change” as much or more than you do. To unlock the power of change in ways that will unleash the maximum potential of your employees, we will look at the difference between making a “change” and implementing an “improvement”, the importance of setting and communicating clear goals for the “improvement” being made, and how to achieve the most from your intended change through inspired leadership.
