PwC’s Finance in 15 podcast series offers finance executives and business leaders insight into the pivotal ways finance can increase strategic value for their organizations. In this episode, we discuss the last of the 3 Ps of finance transformation: performance. As finance teams can struggle to produce data fast enough to help the business make key decisions, a focus on performance is an essential component of the transformation journey. During the episode, National Future of Finance Leader at PwC Canada Adam Boutros sits down with Marilyn Wang, a Partner in PwC Canada’s One Analytics group and Sébastien Doyon, who leads the company’s Quebec finance transformation practice. They discuss the fundamentals of performance in finance transformation and how teams can address it within their organizations.
