Winning Finance Transformation: Insights For Success


Investigative, CFO-interview based research study by IMA India in partnership with IBM India


Introduction

For years, Finance has led the digital agenda within organisations, often being the first function to leverage state-of-the-art technologies. The pandemic has forced businesses to accelerate tech adoption and, not surprisingly, Finance leaders’ are pursuing this aggressively. Starting the automation journey looks easy but few companies are able to reap the desired benefits – and there is often a gap between promise and delivery. This paper draws insights from a recent research study IMA India conducted in collaboration with IBM India. It offers some guidelines for success as well as potential pitfalls to avoid while driving the ‘Digital Finance’ agenda.

The study covers the following areas:

Top CXO Priorities in a Post-Covid World
Digital Transformation: The New Finance Mandate
Achieving Digital Transformation: Guidelines for Success
Digital Finance: Areas of Applications and Case Studies
Tactical Guidance: Action Steps for CFOs
