In today's business world, leaders have a responsibility to their teams to be adaptable. Even the most experienced leaders can encounter some difficult obstacles or even failures when managing change, which is why adaptability is so important. #Leadership https://t.co/g6vqyKLKao

What do you think is the most effective way for banks to improve their cloud strategy to provide customers with better experiences?

"It’s essential for banks to use advanced mobile AI tools from trusted brands that offer support and protect sensitive financial data from falling into the wrong hands, helping maintain regulatory compliance," writes @rosedefremery. #BankingTech

#AI is playing an increasingly important role in the #BankingIndustry. However, I believe this is only the beginning of AI, and we'll likely see these #DigitalTools become even more integrated into banking as time goes on and AI gets more advanced. 🧵 https://t.co/KMVhVal2tm

[Norman Brandel @ncbrandel]

AI has benefits in many areas of banking, but one that I think is especially important is its impact on security. But while AI can help improve security, we also have to make sure it's compliant and doesn't pose any additional security risk itself.

There are many different ways to approach the Rule of 30, but no matter the approach you take, the responsibilities are the same: #FinancialPlanning and analysis, #PerformanceMonitoring, #CostManagement, and strategic decision-making. @cpapracadvisor https://t.co/z0RtLFGp55

In a #growth phase? Consider a fractional #CFO. #Leadership should not be stagnant, or limited to those inside the org. They can provide objective insights that cut through internal politics and drive alignment, without a long-term commitment. #Talent https://t.co/U5y0a8wvFU

Can #AI help you stay on top of regulation? I say yes. By using natural language processing or #NLP to interpret legal documents and generate alerts for #compliance teams, #AI is reducing #administrative burdens while enhancing #accuracy and timeliness. https://t.co/Yw4rz8wafw

The latest from CFO Insights Healthcare Report: 38% of finance healthcare execs have made cost-cutting their top priority, with a growing number investing in #AI. A clear sign of tech becoming a core component of both financial efficiency & growth. https://t.co/8grfEA1Kgk

67% of workers are considering a job change in the next 6 months. My key takeaway: as we think about the #FutureofWork, the question isn’t whether remote/flexible options should be offered, but how we can thoughtfully integrate them into work culture. https://t.co/9IGkpzozlQ

Interested to hear other #Cloud applications within finance you've seen so far, and especially this year -- feel free to leave a comment.

[Norman Brandel @ncbrandel]

Let's talk about #Cloud for a minute.

The convergence of cloud technology and finance is still evolving, but one thing is clear: the cloud is not just a tool for improving operational efficiency—it's a strategic asset that will and is currently the future of #Finance. 🧵 1/x

[Norman Brandel @ncbrandel]

Cloud economics is just one key example of this larger shift: they enable financial institutions to shift from CapEx to OpEx models, allowing for more predictable costs and scalable resource allocation. By leveraging the elasticity of cloud infrastructure, companies can-- 2/x

In many cases, #BusinessTransformations end up veering off course due to unforeseen circumstances. And while we can't control these factors, we can ensure that we're navigating our way through the unexpected to come out on the other side. @HarvardBiz https://t.co/itEofMK1nV

My advice for fractional CFOs? Remember that you're not just managing finances; you're also aligning people, processes, and technology with the new direction. This doesn't just require financial expertise, but strong leadership and communication skills, too.

[Norman Brandel @ncbrandel]

As a #FractionalCFO, navigating change is a critical part of the role. In fact, #ChangeManagement is at the center of everything I do! In a fractional capacity, the ability to manage change effectively can be the difference between success and failure. 🧵

[Norman Brandel @ncbrandel]

You're often thrown into the thick of it right away, meaning you need to make a quick assessment and strategic action. In many ways, a fractional CFO must act as both a financial expert and a change leader, helping companies not only adapt to change but thrive in it.

[Norman Brandel @ncbrandel]

Companies are hiring #FractionalCFOs—and they're seeing results! As a fractional #CFO myself, I know it can save businesses a lot of money, while still providing them with the financial expertise they would get from full-time hire. @SherylEstrada https://t.co/jeIi63jy2h

I really like this article by @Tejsb, a former Olympian, about how the #Olympics shaped his #LeadershipStyle. He shares a few key lessons he learned about #leadership, but the one that stands out most to me is this: Lift up your team. https://t.co/zWDRpJ7MzK
