The IBM 2005 Global CFO Study

The IBM 2005 Global CFO Study

As the demands placed on Finance continue to expand, CFOs are challenged with the paradox of delivering a stable, highly effective finance environment while also providing the agility to respond and react to rapidly changing business climates. The IBM 2005 Global CFO Study focuses on how Finance organizations can balance competing priorities of growth, risk and performance insight, while adding significant value to the business.

Nearly 900 CFOs and Senior Finance Executives around the world were surveyed, representing every major industry sector. Of this total, 267 executives made time for in-depth, one-on-one conversations — conducted by IBM consultants. The result is a roadmap that clearly addresses the need to mitigate structural complexity in order to efficiently drive information integration throughout the business. This integration will, in turn, strengthen the organization's ability to act on insight to enhance the stability and increase the agility of the organization.
