As every organisation looks to Finance Transformation as the answer to all their problems, one question remains which is what is the best way to approach strategy?
It seems there are two common contenders in the debate, one being Big 4 consultants and the other, qualified professionals.
Consultants from the Big 4 can offer a trusted brand and definitive set of deliverables but, they can also be time-intensive, costly and traditional in an era of unconventional working. Others are now looking to hire either interim or permanent finance professionals to conduct the transformation on their behalf, but is this equally the right solution?
I have this conversation with my network daily. Which strategy is the best strategy for my finance transformation? And, my answer is always simple.
Opt for a hybrid model which is a blend of the two strategies. You will invest your trust in former Big 4 consultants who will help you to implement the strategy and design of your programme; which, once completed, will be brought to life with the help of a selection of qualified Interim professionals.
