Client priorities

From addressing immediate skills gaps to transforming their organisations for the long-term, business leaders face numerous challenges in an increasingly volatile landscape.

CFO challenges

The evolving role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and finance teams has made it increasingly complex to manage core projects while meeting new demands. Business leaders are prioritising the need for additional resources and expertise to support their finance functions. Key focus areas include project support, augmentation of financial teams, short-term resource allocation, crisis response, and working capital management. These priorities are essential for ensuring that finance teams can effectively manage ongoing projects and respond to emerging challenges.

Future-fit corporate services

Business leaders are increasingly prioritising the need to focus on core operations while ensuring that non-core functions are efficiently managed. The goal is to transform and streamline various aspects, such as change management, compliance and risk testing, finance, human resources, legal matters, supply chain operations, tax services, and workforce management. Achieving this balance is crucial for enhancing overall efficiency and maintaining a competitive edge.

Optimising customer experience

Optimising the customer experience has become a primary concern for business leaders who aim to drive consistent and positive outcomes for both customers and consumers. The focus is on integrating core customer management with market-managed services to enhance value. Priorities include improving claims management, commercial optimisation, customer contact management, customer experience insights, and service transformation. Additionally, grants and fund management, marketing, product and service innovation, and sales and performance management are critical areas for delivering exceptional customer experiences.

Resilience, risk and compliance

In today’s regulatory environment, ensuring resilience, managing risk and maintaining compliance are top priorities for business leaders. These elements are vital for gaining better visibility, adhering to regulations, and avoiding potential fines. Effective management in areas such as change adaptation, compliance and risk testing, cybersecurity, financial crime compliance, legal solutions, and tax compliance is essential for safeguarding the organisation’s integrity and operational continuity.

Value-driven supply chain

Leaders are focused on creating a value-driven digital supply chain that enhances efficiency and reduces costs. The priority is to manage the entire commercial lifecycle effectively, from procurement and contract management to category management and supplier relationships. Strategic supply chain planning and management are essential for staying resilient and competitive in a rapidly changing market.
