"My agenda for the future:
Beating the competition on a sustainable basis, beating shareholder performance expectations
Looking at the broader risk picture, from the sheer weight of regulation to the best possible growth environment
Continuing to take out cost, looking again at outsourcing and opportunities for off-shoring."
Developing and retaining the very best talent
—Nick Rose, CFO, Diageo
At a time when business horizons are broadening, regulatory pressures threaten to seriously impede-or even stifle-corporate growth.
A timely strategic guide to the rapidly changing world of CFOs and their finance functions, this book explores the opportunities for:
Leveraging the benefits of risk and regulation
Balancing centralized control with frontline creativity
Managing the value of intangibles-customers, brands, R&D
Forging new support disciplines for decision making and global services
Developing finance capabilities and skills for innovative business partnering
Raising the bar for standards of corporate behavior, responsibility, and sustainability
Creating Value in a Regulated World is built around richly informative interviews with senior finance executives at more than 40 of the world's best-run companies, from GE and Proctor & Gamble in North America to Diageo and BP in Europe. Through their detailed descriptions of strategies and best practice, you’ll gain firsthand insight into how global leaders are responding to the biggest, most challenging issues on the finance agenda.
