Seminar C
Becoming A Data-Driven CFO

1.00pm – 3.00pm
L20059 - Workshop B FP&A teams sit at the confluence of transactional data and business strategy. As such, they are uniquely posi­tioned to transform their roles by detecting patterns and confidently leading the effort to address risks and press ahead with strategy. However, a strong finance and ac­counting background is no longer sufficient to make this happen. The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data – and with Big Data comes the need for data science and machine learning, which enable finance pro­fessionals to model, forecast, plan and drive business de­cisions at speeds formerly unheard of. Learn how to tap these tools to dive into previously impossible analyses and unlock new insights in this session.
