MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS:
The CFO Alliance attentively listens and delivers measurable benefits guided by a 4-point value creation platform:
- LEAD: We see CFOs as leaders and force multipliers. Beyond providing the tools and informational resources that help them affect positive transformation of the finance function, we help CFOs model the thinking and behaviors needed to inspire others cross-functionally and emerge as trusted, fact-based leaders of growth missions. We help Members gain broader understanding of market dynamics and increase cross-functional knowledge enabling them to lead organizational alignment on the imperatives, process improvements across the value chain, and tight integration of market strategies and tactics enabling more aggressive market capture.
- LEARN: We believe that learning is the greatest force for change. To enhance Members’ perspectives and the core skills needed to outperform business objectives we augment the priceless value derived from of “wisdom of the crowd” peer collaboration with hyper-relevant content needed to execute the role effectively. We introduce and process today’s barriers and countermeasures and simultaneously track leading indicators of change to provide the forward visibility needed to get in front of what lies ahead.
- CHANGE: This “taking action” phase of the platform converts learnings into transformational performance improvement of the finance function. “Getting finance right” is Job 1, but it’s also the gateway for freeing up time for CFOs to make more strategic contributions. Our programs embrace both dimensions of designing and implementing change – providing the resources and methods to fix things that are broken and the expert guidance needed to implement things that are opportunistically new. And when talent, FP&A expertise, and access to capital are part of the change architecture, Members have direct access to expertise and relationship-based account service delivered by skilled teams.
- CONNECT: “Making Connections That Count” was one of our founding objectives. Our diverse Membership represents a vast array of non-profits, industries, and businesses of various sizes. The collaborative nature of this community builds productive relationships willing to share actionable insights and proven methods through facilitated peer-group discussions and formal studies offering a world view on what’s important, strategic direction, countermeasures on the barriers, and insights as to how opportunities will be captured.
