Learn how Finance teams apply Agile principles and practices to their ways of working to help them deliver value sooner, manage risk, collaborate and 'partner' better with the rest of the organisation.
Agile is more than just a buzzword, associated with providing value and organisational transformation, it is a way of achieving more with your existing resources. As finance is increasingly ‘partnering’ with other areas of the organisation to deliver tangible outcomes, agile ways of working are becoming more prevalent and transforming finance teams.
This 1-day workshop focuses on how finance professionals can apply Agile techniques to effectively engage with the whole business, lead projects, influence and impact decision making.
This workshop is made available through the partnership between AxisAgile and Project Accounting Australia.
