Episode Description

The buzz: “CFOs must recognize their roles as agents of change charged with driving technological transformation across their companies” (digitalistmag.com). We began 2019 with a rush of activity, discussing which industries would emerge, the tech trends that would help Finance and risk professionals, and new disruptive technologies and industry trends where Finance and risk would play a key role. Today, from informed hindsight, three experts reflect on the year and predict what 2020 might bring for Finance. The experts speak. Nilly Essaides, Hackett Group: “The fragile wants tranquility, the anti-fragile grows from disorder, and the robust doesn’t care too much” (Nassim Taleb). Corey Olson, TruQua: “The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again” (Graeme Wood). Michael Emerson, SAP: “The moment we decide to fulfil something, we can do anything” (Greta Thunberg). Join us for 2019: Reflections on a Year in Finance, Collaborative Planning, and Risk.
