Introduction and challenges<\/b><\/h2>\n

Nowadays, building the strategic plan is an essential exercise for any enterprise. The CEO needs a financial and operational management structure to assess the progress of the implementation of the strategic plan and to measure its financial impact. The CFO, as guardian of the enterprise’s management and financial performance, is responsible for overseeing this structure on behalf of the CEO and the shareholders.<\/span><\/p>\n

The development of this steering structure presents two main challenges for the CFO. Firstly, it is a matter of modelling the strategic plan, highlighting the most relevant operational and financial levers to achieve the strategic objectives and defining KPIs to measure their progress. Secondly, the CFO must define and implement the steering process, and setup and support a strong governance structure in order to make the many stakeholders accountable and to ensure effective communication of results.<\/span><\/p>\n
