249. Financial Transformation Live: Stop Shopping, Start Transforming

In this insightful Financial Transformation Live session, Hannah Munro, Managing Director of itas Solutions, challenges the traditional approach to purchasing new technology solutions. Rather than focusing solely on procurement checklists and feature comparisons, Hannah encourages finance leaders to rethink how they approach technology selection — shifting from “shopping” to “transforming.”
Also covered in this session:
  • Why the traditional RFP (Request for Proposal) approach often fails to deliver transformational outcomes
  • How to design a consultative selection cycle that prioritises outcomes over features
  • The importance of sharing problem statements, goals, and process maps with suppliers to drive better recommendations
  • How to educate and engage potential partners to uncover innovation and align with your business challenges
  • Methods to evaluate technology solutions based on process efficiency, control, ROI, and real-world use cases
  • Practical steps to ensure suppliers start learning about your organisation before implementation — accelerating time to value
  • What is the change that we’re seeing in finance teams and what does that have to do with value?
  • How do we define value?
  • How value goes beyond economic impact
  • What are the components of economic value identification?
  • Examples of the value identification conversation
  • What this means for the skills in finance
