The document discloses what can happen when there is a lack of corporate strategy. It provides the process outline and technology to enable corporate strategy development. It also reveals why every executive leader needs to understand the importance of corporate strategy development and the effect it can have on the office of the CFO."Corporate strategy is paramount for the Office of the CFO to ensure the financial decisions support the execution of corporate strategy and can lead to a better financial outcome. Often, leaders avoid creating, editing, or deferring the work to their team, which can lead to the demise of an organization.
