The urgency for transformation is higher than ever.

Join this session to hear industry and BlackLine leaders discuss leading practices and share firsthand experiences on delivering successful finance transformation. We’ll cover topics including: • Why finance first is a no-regrets approach to digital transformation • How establishing a target data model and efficient actuals creates a foundation for success • What top companies do differently to maximize value and optimize talent
