CFO Foundation - People Process System Assessment Tool
leadership pillar
CFO.University isn’t original in using the People, Process and Systems model. The terms “golden triangle”, “business triangle”, even the “eternal triangle” to describe this critical business triumvirate has been in the business lexicon for as long as I can remember. What we believe is unique in our CFO Foundation - People Process System Assessment Tool is the simple and effective way it directs us to the True North for your Accounting, Finance and Treasury (AFT) department.
