Last week, I had the privilege of hosting Ngozi Ola-Israel and Professor Ndubuisi Ekekwe at the Sixth Edition of AXA Mansard’s Out of the Box program. It was indeed a memorable experience!
Both speakers did justice to their assigned topic. Ngozi Ola-Israel spoke about the “Role of Finance in Business Modernization”, while Ndubuisi Ekekwe discussed “Innovation and Making Changes in the Workplace”. I took the following points from the session:
- The role of finance in business is evolving to include; Strategic, Disruptive, Digital … really, you need beyond the accounting and finance skill set to function successfully in any finance role
- The CFO is the Chief Priest…they posses extraordinary ability to guide the business
-
The world revolves around numbers, to create value you need to know your numbers…Show me your business data and I will tell you who you are and what you need to be
-
Innovation without commercialization is just an invention
-
People remain the most critical factor of production across all industries
Thanks to the AXA Mansard team for putting together an amazing session and for giving out Tekedia Institute MBA Scholarship to some of the participants
