(In-person)Finance as a business partner

​Finance often gets tuned out by commercial and ops teams, seen as the department that shows up after decisions are made, and always says "no" This workshop is built to change that.

​Over two hours, Adi-Elena (FP&A, Johnson Controls) will walk you through why ops and commercial teams stop listening to finance, and the shifts that make them pay attention.

• ​How to build KPIs both sides are actually accountable for

• ​How to influence a room, not just present numbers
