Finance on a Mission is conducting its fifth consecutive Finance Transformation survey this year. In recent years, that research has grown in numbers of respondents. Based on the research, we publish several (international) articles each year. Organizations and Finance Professionals use our research to benchmark where the organization stands on Finance Transformation. The research is produced annually with the help of partners. Fitch People has joined as a research partner for 2022, a development we are very excited about.
Match on vision
For Finance on a Mission, it is important to work with partners who have a match with us regarding the vision of development in the profession. Partners who also believe that conducting research can be added value to a Finance profession in development. That development goes beyond the possibilities that technology offers us. We live in a time when broad social themes, a focus on what adds value for clients, a responsible way of dealing with the planet and people, and an acceleration in development of digital technology come together. In that force field, Finance is evolving. It is a search for the position where Finance is at its strongest. Finance on a Mission helps Finance in this search. Through research, knowledge sharing and events, Finance on a Mission supports Finance Professionals in their development. “Fitch will support this development from an active contribution to our annual research that is possible through a match on vision,” indicated by Jan Heinen, the founder of Finance on a Mission. “In our discussions, it emerged that Fitch’s view of the field, combined with its broader view of what is needed for a successful transformation, matches well with our view.”
Research as a basis for development
Beert Kuiken, Managing Director at Fitch, is also pleased with the start of this collaboration: “We believe in research as the basis for development. In order to know what you need to do to achieve your goals, it is important to know where you stand. From this research we can help Finance to get a picture of the state of developments. What is in store for the organization and for Finance and how can Finance best fulfill its role? What are other organizations and Finance Professionals doing to seize the opportunities and meet the challenges? By sharing knowledge, we grow as a professional group.”
More over Fitch:
The world is changing at a lightning pace. Organizations are inundated with information. The amount of data and its complexity are increasing all the time. For this reason it is essential for organizations to unlock and use data intelligently. This can be achieved through data-driven decision-making, streamlined business processes, employee development and the deployment of smart software robots, among other things. Fitch People supports B2B and B2C organizations with the management, analysis and disclosure of data, the systematic deployment of smart robots and the secondment of Data, Finance and IT professionals. In this way, business processes are structurally improved and costs are saved.
Fitch makes digital transformations successful. In doing so, Fitch looks beyond secondment, software implementations, process automation and data analytics. It’s all about the combined use of our disciplines. Fitch was started in 2016 by Beert Kuiken to connect Finance, Data and IT.
