The CFO as Business Integrator

Companies today are undergoing constant structural change. There are rapid changes in business models, mergers/acquisitions, de-mergers. CEOs face a bewildering choice: how to transform the organisation/ culture to achieve shareholder value? How to rationalise business processes taking advantage of the internet? How to integrate processes and systems from predecessor organisations? Many of the solutions to these questions lie with the CFO. The Finance Function is in a strong position to play its part in integrating financial strategy, business processes, metrics and systems. Will the CEO or CFO become the business integrator of the future?

Chapters 1-8 will describe the principles and practice; Chapter 9 will push SAP technology, but generally the book will be SAP-neutral as far as possible and will be independent and objective.
