Virtual Roundtable
October 27, 2021
16:30 - 18:00 - AEST
Are you succumbing to your fear of technology failure?
It was Peter Drucker who said, “you can’t manage what you can’t measure."
Because change is a constant in business, leaders need to take a hard look at their tools, systems, processes and – most importantly – strategies, especially when faced with exceptional events, to best understand if they are delivering the best results and driving business growth.
As leaders you need a 360-degree visibility into cash flow, receivables, projects, inventory, and operational risks. You need prudent advice, a list of potential sources of capital and a single-minded forward-focus. With so many critical decisions to make, you need the right numbers, and you need them right now, which means you require the best technology fit for your organisation.
This roundtable will open up an interesting discussion around technology, its pitfalls, its imperative to help you pivot during a time of change, and the role C-Suite continues to play in the evolving technology era.
Discussion Questions:
- What are the pain-points you experience as a business when it comes to technology?
- How important is price as opposed to fit?
- Do you find that present day technology flexes with business growth?
- Should the RFP / RFQ be killed?
- How do you know when you’ve outgrown your SME accounting solution?
Moderator
This is an interactive discussion for senior leaders moderated by Executive Leaders Network.
The session will provide insights throughout, offer you the chance to discuss the landscape and challenges with peers/experts and ask questions to the wealth of knowledge and experience in the virtual room.
