Course Overview

The growing prominence of CFOs as decision makers in the business continues to be evident with the number of chief financial officers being promoted to the CEO role. Much like great chess players, today’s CFOs have to go beyond being linear thinkers—focused on the next step to capture a pawn or bishop on the board— to being strategic thinkers who plan multiple moves ahead, and even encourage competitor reaction in a predictive way.

The Role of CFO as a Strategic Partner makes that jump from linear to strategic thinking, offering frameworks, real cases, and engaged discussion with other peers. The role expected of these financial leaders encompasses much more than overseeing their firm’s profit and loss statement. They are expected to be positioned as vital contributors to their company’s long-term strategy.

This course equips you with a new toolset to help you more effectively control costs and grow your organization by making the right investments for the future. Wharton faculty specifically help you leverage your financial acumen in new ways, to better understand the strategic opportunities before you and communicate to business partners what matters and what does not when considering a new path forward.

Who should take this course

This course is specially targeting the personnel of the chief financial officers, senior financial executives, controllers and the vice presidents who are having the financial and the strategic responsibilities.
