Journey to a Value Integrator

The 2010 IBM Global CFO Study found that one group of Finance organizations, "Value Integrators", stand out by demonstrating the highest effectiveness across the entire CFO agenda. In particular, they excel at two capabilities: 1) Finance Efficiency brought about by process and data consistency, which helps unlock the power of analytics and 2) Business Insight to drive enterprise performance. So how does a Finance organization become a Value Integrator? What have Value Integrators done to mitigate structural complexity and optimize business performance? How does Finance improve Business Insight capabilities to become the fact-based voice of reason for the enterprise? To find out, IBM conducted additional case study-based research (1/2 day face-to-face interviews) on 15 high-performing enterprises from the CFO study that share the characteristics of Value Integrators.
