Agility in Finance SIG
Finance, Procurement and Contracts are central to effective business agility.
Bringing finance closer to decision-making increases agility: balancing reporting and control with the flexibility to feed innovation in the face of change and uncertainty.
This group focuses on how an agile ethos can combine with just enough control and compliance, to create a robust environment – protecting the business and its customers.
The Finance SIG is led by a steering group of volunteers who are committed to connecting the world of finance more closely with the values and principles of agility.
This group runs events where topics are discussed so that thinking for this domain is taken forward.
To find out more, read our Special Interest Group Terms of Reference.
