Finance as a strategic partner

CFOs and their teams are increasingly expected to be a key strategic partner to the business. What does your team need to successfully transition into that role? Start from your organization’s strategic ambitions and turn these into concrete roadmaps.

Our connected transformation offering helps you connect your business strategy, technology and people to ensure that you are all set for finance transformation success.

Mapping responsibilities, capabilities and tech to inspire and guide you

To get a digital transformation right, a holistic approach is needed that connects technology, strategy and people. That’s what we at delaware call ‘connected transformation’.

To help you kickstart your journey to connected finance transformation, we elaborated the CFO Connected Transformation Chessboard: a model that links

• your key finance responsibilities (steer, operate and comply)

• the related processes (controlling, sustainability, procure to pay, treasury, compliance,…)

• the technology that is at hand to enable these capabilities (from foundational to advanced and innovative).

The Transformation Chessboard serves as an inspirational tool, but can also be used as a roadmap to help you gradually move towards becoming a future-proof CFO office.
