Attended an incredible session with Glenn Hopper titled "Getting to a Winning FP&A Story." Glenn shared valuable perspectives on transforming financial data into compelling narratives that drive decision-making. One standout highlight from his talk was a profound quote by Clifford Stoll: DATA IS NOT INFORMATION INFORMATION IS NOT KNOWLEDGE KNOWLEDGE IS NOT UNDERSTANDING UNDERSTANDING IS NOT WISDOM This powerful reminder emphasizes the journey from raw data to insightful wisdom, crucial for effective FP&A story telling. Thank you, Glenn, for an enlightening session! #FPandACon2024 #FinancialPlanning #Analytics #Insights #Leadership #FPandA #DataToWisdom Datarails

💭This week on Wisdom Wednesday: Finance & Anxiety — Getting Comfortable with the Pairing. In this industry, financial anxiety is something that continues to influence how I understand what a CFO in flux and evolving looks like. I’ve come to the realization that we as leaders, stewards, and fiduciaries, are compelled to substantially increase our EQ. It is our Emotional Intelligence that will help us navigate this world where finance and anxiety not only co-exist, but are almost completely mutually inclusive. Human capital is our greatest asset. Protecting how the deafening force of anxiety can invade our employees and business partners, and our own decision-making is paramount. Perhaps it’s just me… or maybe not… but I see the next level CFO as someone who not only helps other leaders feel more comfortable about the financial stability of their company but will also teach, through example, the power of not fearing the unknown. Finance and anxiety. How do you respond to words connected together?
