Blurring the lines between C-Suite responsibilites
Organizations that have fully integrated an accounts payable automation technology with its ERP solution have likely benefitted from the visibility that is achieved by intelligent automation, which has long been a strategic priority that is paying dividends for Metafile and our customers.
Recently, Lisa Yoon from CIO Magazine interviewed Boris Groysberg, associate professor at Harvard Business School, and Jeremy Hanson, who manages the North American Financial Officers Practice for Heidrick & Struggles, about trends affecting C-suite executives - most notably the CFO.
One of the key points made by Groysberg and Hanson is the notion that, as the level of cross-team collaboration increases, CFOs must be knowledgeable about business functions outside of their specific responsibilities - and their impact to the business - in order to be successful. For example, a CFO must understand the priorities and projects of the CIO, and how they impact the bottom line.
This perspective shows the case for intelligent automation has never been stronger, as the visibility and business intelligence it affords is becoming more and more valuable to C-suite executives, all of whom rely on it to make informed decisions.
