Nimble Finance
The capability to sense and respond to change can be built, measured and scaled in organizations. Based on research from the International Institute of Business Analysis in their report, Being Nimble: The Scalable Capability for Organizations to Sense and Respond to Change, this session will cover eight traits of a nimble organization, and then apply them to the AFP FP&A Maturity Model.

How Finance Can Support Business Agility
All companies need to react to a changing market and environment. As FP&A establishes process to get its work done, is that enabling business agility and resiliency, or creating a barrier to flexible responses? This case study of Roche Pharmaceutical Finance’s agile transformation will show how routine processes such as reporting, budgeting and performance management can connect finance to their internal customers and support (or even drive) customer value creation.

Building and Leading Resilient Teams
The true test of a team's resilience is when its leader or key player steps away in the middle of a crisis. Will the whole system collapse because one individual element is missing? Or will the team step up, conquer the adversity, and continue to thrive afterwards? One of the best ways to prepare teams for these types of situations is to apply the principles used for succession planning and change management. In doing so, leaders can equip, empower, and motivate their teams to remain strong despite future challenges. This session explores ways to embody a succession planning mindset that drives a culture of resilience throughout the finance organization.

Agile and Resilient Finance Teams
Volatility is constant and disruption is picking up speed. Businesses need to anticipate and make decisions quickly to changes in the business environment and so stakeholders and shareholders are expecting more out of CFOs to provide real-time insights and options. While CFOs prioritize FP&A improvement and digitization, however, efforts to date have yielded mixed results. In our research and experience, agile and resilient FP&A organizations balance the process, culture, technology, and development of capabilities to deliver world class results.
