EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW: CFO Playbook for Profitability and Digital Acceleration in Hong Kong, China and Asia

As the Hong Kong economy starts to pick up in the latter half of 2022, inflation will make a return to the CFO’s focus. However, with weakening global growth forecasts, persistent supply chain pressures, pandemic-related lockdowns in China, continued talent shortages (particularly in Hong Kong’s high-value industries), CFOs recognise that current strategies of passing along inflation through pricing may not continue to work. Driving digital acceleration while enhancing near-term profitability is no easy task. In this session, we look to cover:

How to drive digital acceleration while enhancing near-term profitability?
Identifying common mistakes to avoid when managing profitability in today’s environment
Developing proven frameworks to help finance segment costs to differentiate performance
