A New Way For CFOs To Navigate The 'New Normal' Of Increased Volatility

In the face of the increased volatility, complexity and interconnectivity which has become the 'new normal' for many companies, the ability of CFOs and finance functions to understand, quantify, manage and leverage risk is more important now than perhaps ever before. And yet, many organisations are still struggling to find practical solutions for the incorporation of risk into planning and decision-making.

There is increased pressure on CFOs from Boards, investors, and financiers to manage and optimise the risk-return balance of the company, and to more explicitly reflect the volatility in forecasts and plans. However, it is recognised that existing approaches to reflect uncertainty within the planning of the business are no longer fit-for-purpose.
