The Periodic Table of Finance Transformation — Part 1
The “Periodic Table of Finance Transformation” is a carefully curated compilation of 65 essential elements that are fundamental to driving change and innovation within the finance function of any organization.
Each ‘element’ on this table represents a concept, tool, skill, methodology, or influential thought leader that has been pivotal in the field of finance transformation.
Much like the traditional Periodic Table of Elements groups the building blocks of matter, this table groups the building blocks of finance transformation into categories for ease of understanding and application.
For example, analytics tools like Snowflake, Azure, and Alteryx are categorized together, reflecting their importance in processing and analyzing large volumes of financial data.
Similarly, methodologies such as Six Sigma, Agile, and Scrum are grouped to highlight their role in improving processes and project management within finance departments.
Designed with CFOs, FP&A leaders, and senior finance professionals in mind, this table serves as an educational roadmap, a source of inspiration, and a strategic guide, helping finance professionals navigate the complex landscape of finance transformation.
