Finance Leaders are increasingly given the reigns to co-develop strategy and components of organisation's strategy that require very different ways of operating to get a better result.   

It might be time to step away from the old saying: “If you keep doing what you have always done, you'll always get what you've always got”. Because in 2021, some companies and finance leaders may find that they are actually getting less than what they've “always got”.  

This raises the importance of being able to bring team members and the finance function itself through new processes of problem-solving to get high-impact innovations in place. A finance leader without this skill set is at risk of being left behind. 

Frameworks covered

Introduction to zero-based principles and design 

Zero-based design principles are applied methodically to complex problems that require a ‘step change’ in performance outcomes. As such, this framework allows finance professionals to develop new solutions with other stakeholders to complex problems. The benefit of this model is that other stakeholders not only contribute to the solution design but are also more likely to adopt the solution that is subsequently rolled out.
