Amid a turbulent and dynamic world, forward leaning Chief Financial Officers are turning change into reinvention, complexity into opportunity, and disruption into growth. These progressive CFOs are not only shifting their vision and mindset – but also redefining what it means to lead and create value for today and tomorrow. 

CFOs have never been more empowered to make faster, bigger, broader decisions. As a result, there is tremendous potential for them to take a prime role in leading the business through volatility. But there is also pressure to do it well. And for the CFO, this is the moment to demonstrate strong leadership and decision-making capabilities.

Today’s unparalleled volatility, uncertainty and complexity is affecting every organization. The boldest and bravest leaders are using the upheaval to reimagine the path to value and purposeful growth. In this spirit, Leadership for a Networked World at Harvard University and Accenture are convening the 2021 Leading in a New Era of Value and Purposeful Growth virtual summit series to help leaders navigate challenges and seize new opportunities to be proactive, creative and pioneering.

To help current and future chief financial officers respond to this new velocity of change and lead their people and teams into the future, the Technology and Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard and Leadership for a Networked World, in collaboration with Accenture Strategy, are convening the 2019 CFO of the Future Summit: Value at High Velocity, to be held May 15 – 17 at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
