Oracle Leadership Connect

About this event


The Asian Development Bank (ADB) forecasts faster growth (6.2% in 2024 vs. 5.7% in 2023) for the Philippines as the continued easing of pandemic restrictions boosts consumption, tourism, and investment.

The challenge and opportunity for business leaders is to identify strategies (with corresponding action items) that will fuel growth and profitability while enhancing support for sustainability goals. A Gartner CEO and senior business executive survey revealed that CEOs and CFOs are aligned on three key priorities: growth, technology and talent.

In practical terms, this means the CFO must manage growth in the immediate term, and trim costs while simultaneously identifying investments with long-term payoffs. Marko Horvat, VP of Research with the finance practice at Gartner, says this requires the ability to ruthlessly prioritise projects that align with strategic business priorities, make significant changes to where capital is allocated, and quickly shift capital to high uses.

Behind every successful business are its people, and while economists might say The Great Resignation is Over”, chief human resources officers (CHROs) and the operating functions they support at enterprises will argue that the talent recruitment and retention paradigm has changed.

This 2024, CHRO must manage evolving employee expectations and business goals, and deepen the collaboration with CFOs and members of the C-suite to ensure everyone in the organisation understands and supports the business goals.

This 22 November 2023, Oracle, in partnership with CXOCIETY, invites you to a gathering of finance and human capital leaders, as well as industry practitioners where we will go into the realities besetting finance and HR leaders.

It’s the not-to-be-missed event of the year.

Who Should Attend?

  • CxOs
  • Senior Finance executives such as CFOs, Finance Directors/VPs/GMs/Heads
  • Senior HR executives such as CHROs, HR Directors/VPs/GMs/Heads

11:25 FIRESIDE CHAT: The CFO's Playbook for Driving
Growth and Innovation

CFOs are expected to deliver data-driven insights to promote decision making that drives profitable growth, even amid economic uncertainty. As the CEO’s trusted advisor, CFOs need to have a view from finance to HR, operations, and the rest of the business for better-informed decision making. This synergy not only streamlines core financial processes like closing, but also liberates teams to explore fresh horizons, from market ventures to strategic mergers.

This session will address how finance leaders can successfully weather the storms, regardless of the company size or sector, by focusing on three key areas of winning the war of talent, investing in the emerging technologies and designing customer-centric business models.

  • CFO in the intersection of finance, technology and innovation
  • Challenges, opportunities and skills required to thrive in today’s volatile business landscape
  • Leveraging modern technologies as catalyst to inspire and retain employees while increasing efficiency
  • Embracing connected planning and reporting
  • Designing customer-centric business models
