Join us for a webcast to review new research on how finance organizations are furthering business innovation and find out what you can do to contribute.

The finance function has often served as a gatekeeper at many companies by limiting access to information, capital, and analytical support. It has served in a reactive controllership mode, providing a historical view of financial activity, and as a watchdog against managerial carelessness or over-ambition.

While every company’s experience is unique, we believe there is a distinct trend among finance teams toward devoting more of its time, attention, and resources to ensuring business management has the financial and operating information it needs to develop innovations and to make better day-to-day business decisions.

CFO Research Services and Microsoft have conducted a study among senior finance executives to examine the contribution that the corporate finance function makes toward enabling business managers to develop business innovations and make well-informed decisions.

We will examine the results of the research study and share thoughts on this live webcast.

Speakers include:

• Sam Knox, Vice President and Director of Research, CFO Research Services
• Dan Rasmus, Director of Information Work Vision, Microsoft Corporation
