Unlocking the Strategic Value of Digital Finance Transformation

About this event

In a rapidly changing landscape, the 2024 Edges of Southeast Asia report reveals that innovation in our region is increasingly human-centric. This shift necessitates moving away from traditional finance models to more adaptive, technology-driven frameworks.

On 29 October, Workday, in partnership with FutureCFO, invites you to a transformative summit: Unlocking the Strategic Value of Digital Finance Transformation. This event will delve into how to build a compelling business case that articulates the strategic value and lasting financial impact of digital transformation. By harnessing analytics, automation, and agility, finance functions can significantly enhance operational efficiency and drive sustainable growth.

Key topics to be explored:

  • Integrating analytics, automation, and agility: Strategies to embed these essential elements into finance functions.
  • Evolving skill sets: What finance professionals need to thrive in a digital landscape.
  • AI as an ally: Understanding how AI can enhance operational efficiencies and support jobs rather than threaten them.
  • Collaborating with technology vendors: Best practices for successful implementations that align with business objectives.
  • Managing change fatigue: Strategies to foster a supportive culture during transformation.


Join us to connect with fellow finance leaders as we share insights and explore actionable strategies that will empower your organisation to lead in a human-centric future. Together, we can transform the finance function into a strategic partner that drives innovation and value.

Don’t miss this opportunity to unlock the full potential of digital finance transformation!
