SURVEY: Stakeholders of finance lamented that Finance -
Often sees a Problem purely
from cost point of view
Needs more business
knowledge to ask right
questions
Is mainly involved in
accounting and reporting
Has limited impact on
real business decisions
Is largely internal
focused
Is generally Risk averse
THIS IS SUCH A WASTE…
• Correlation between high performance business and high performance finance
organization is 84%!
• The project owner may be too involved to take a distant look.
• Most business partners expect finance to help them make choices by providing
clear decision rules.
• Junior and middle finance managers tend to grow frustrated with the transactional
nature of their role.
