“Although CEOs, boards, and investors expect efficient growth, only 5% of companies ever achieve it”
Gartner, 2024
Economic uncertainty, rising interest rates, and shifting customer expectations are forcing finance leaders to rethink their approach to cash flow, risk, and operational efficiency.
But whilst automation and AI are reshaping financial processes, the challenge remains: how do you balance innovation with stability? A recent report from Gartner highlights that while companies are investing heavily in digital transformation, fewer than 5% have successfully optimised their financial operations to drive sustainable growth. The key questions remain:
-
What does "financial resilience" look like in 2025, and how are organisations benchmarking success?
-
Where is the balance between proactive risk management and over-caution that stifles growth?
-
How are automation and AI truly impacting AR, collections, and working capital strategies?
Join a group of like-minded finance leaders for an hour of peer-led debate, discussion, and benchmarking as we explore the financial strategies shaping 2025.
