Coming Friday we will hand out the first Chief Value Officer of the Year Awards! 🏆 In today’s dynamic business landscape, where social and environmental issues are pressing and the call for transparency and accountability is louder than ever, a transformation in leadership is essential. Recognizing the need for Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) to evolve into Chief Value Officers (CVOs), we introduced the CVO of the Year Award to honor those who are leading the charge in making social value creation a top priority in every decision. This Friday, at the Nationale Conferentie de Brede Welvaart, we present the first-ever Chief Value Officer (CVO) of the Year Award to five exceptional CVOs who are boldly redefining what it means to lead with impact. A Chief Value Officer is: ➡ A CFO of a large company (+250 employees) who puts impact at the heart of every decision. ➡ A director who manages on the basis of broad value (social, human, natural) rather than purely financial value. ➡ A pioneering CFO who is committed to fundamentally different, regenerative revenue models and innovations. ➡ A leader who takes his own organization and the entire sector in tow in terms of impact.

When we operate in conditions of scarce resources, whether people or budgets, every decision counts. The bigger, more strategic, decisions we make in an organisation are the ones that have the most inherent uncertainties. Thank you Angela Dixon for your post on Forecasting and decision making in uncertainty. With the amount of LinkedIn posts I keep reading from Local Authority Chief Executives describing unfathomable budgets for the year this feels timely. #localgovernment #publicsector #finance #leadership https://lnkd.in/ehgtXsQu
