I love asking this question. At my Finance Leaders Digital Transformation workshop yesterday, here’s what CFOs, Controllers and Directors said. And they all missed the one vital ingredient.
👉Role based access.
👉Clearly defined roles.
👉Improve data quality.
👉Deliver in short sprints.
👉Out of box, no customization.
👉Regular feedback from customers.
👉Be clear on the ‘Why’ of the project.
👉Share information often and to everyone.
👉Training for everyone during the project and after.
👉Have a Finance lead to be a point contact for the project.
🫨The one thing they all missed is Accountability.
The one thing you need to change is a single point of accountability. That’s what makes Technology projects successful. A Project Manager who’s driving delivery, leading the teams and managing stakeholders.
