Finance Directors are charged with creating innovative, flexible and efficient finance departments that constantly find better ways to deliver greater value to the business. Delivery of their vision may involve developing services that improve the finance operation, develop the talent of the team, and provide greater insight and transparency around the workings and opportunities for the business as a whole.
In reality, alongside the pressure of running the finance operation and dealing with other initiatives, it can be hard to focus sufficiently on the change required to achieve the vision.
External change management expertise can make a real difference to the speed of mobilisation and scale of improvement, translating ambition into realistic, achievable objectives with clear business outcomes.
In managing significant finance change, we focus on the things that will help Finance Directors and their teams to provide greater value, for example:
- Where appropriate, bringing clarity to the status of your current finance operation and systems
- Bringing clarity to the vision for finance by engaging key stakeholders in establishing shared commitment and priorities
- Developing a structured change programme and plan that meets the ambition, breaking down delivery into manageable chunks
- Working closely with the finance team and other stakeholders to deliver the change programme to the agreed costs and timescales
- Establishing a robust communication strategy, delivering positive and consistent communications to the business that demonstrate commitment and follow-through on delivery
- Supporting the finance director in providing effective leadership and making the key decisions required to ensure sustained success
Working in partnership, our clients tell us that we really make a difference to the scale and pace of success.
“There is no doubt that I would not be at the point I am now without Project One. You provided clarity of thought and essential challenge for me through experienced people who apply their knowledge to our situation. You have the edge over other providers of external support. Money well spent."
