​“Last year the CFO Leadership Council and MIT Sloan Executive Education co-created CFO Week, a one-of-a-kind learning and networking experience, designed for CFOs and other financial leaders.  It is an honor to be working with MIT again on this initiative.  The mission of the CFO Leadership Council is to empower CFOs, and by collaborating with MIT we are able to bring our members the opportunity to enhance their strategic leadership skills and create value for the organizations they lead.”

CFO WEEK, COHORT ONE: 

CFO leadership conference
NOV 11 - 13, 2020 - "CFO masterclass™"

Sessions for the 2020 CFO Leadership Conference will include "Ask the Expert" roundtables, inspiring keynotes, and expert-led interactive workshops moderated by CFOLC and MIT dignitaries crafted to dig deep into key leadership areas within the CFO Masterclass™.  Network and learn online with 400+ of your peers across North America.
​
On the heels of a global crisis which forces all of us, without exception, to rethink the new normal, the conference theme CFO Masterclass™ and sessions will subtly reflect this whole new urgency.
CFOs have always faced a level of uncertainty. It comes with the role. Their success has always been determined by how well prepared they are to lead through it.  Today’s uncertainty is more immediate and profound. CFOs face new urgent challenges in how their companies operate, ensuring the well-being of their people, and responding to market-place disruption and financial solvency stress.  

At the same time, CFOs need to maintain the long view.  It’s well documented that executives who can maintain both an immediate and longer view are more successful in the long term.  

Looking forward, CFOs face profound continuing shifts which are changing the nature of how business is conducted. They must be prepared to respond strategically now while focusing on their immediate challenges. Examples of needed strategic responses include responding to new competitors, rethinking business models, successfully innovating their services and products faster, making new investments in technologies, and adapting new work style arrangements.  Join us for conversations delving into these issues during “CFO Masterclass™”.
