Chris is one of the World’s leading advocates for digital transformation in finance, having developed the Generation CFO Group on the back of a diverse and successful career in finance with the likes of Vodafone, British American Tobacco and Amazon.

Automated analytics and AI forecasting is a big win for finance but based on Chris’ research, also 75% of us still have no plans to exploit this opportunity. Establishing these solutions will not only create valuable predictions and insights but save a tonne of time to enable the value creation journey for finance.

Chris presents the art and science for exploring the possibility and the key skills to deliver new capability through technology in finance.

This session included:

• What has changed to accelerate Analytics to be a fundamental pillar of CFO strategy
• Why the time to act is now, both technologically and professionally
• How to use Analytics - three clear use cases (revenue, pricing, bad debt)
• What new data skills are required to deliver Analytics and what finance teams should be learning (these are not the same thing!)
