The Hackett Group has launched its annual Finance Key Issues Study, designed to help finance executives identify top challenges and opportunities for 2015 and beyond.

Participants in the study will receive a complimentary report that will indicate key finance challenges and opportunities in 2015; how their top priorities compare with other finance organizations; critical approaches for overcoming barriers and taking advantage of opportunities; proven steps to achieve world-class performance; and the business landscape in 2015 for the broader enterprise.

Study participants will immediately receive a copy of The Hackett Group's 2014 “World-Class Advantage” Research Insight paper for their function, which offers insights into how top-performing companies spend less and operate with fewer staff, yet consistently deliver greater business value in key areas. Additionally, they will receive a copy of the 2015 Key Issues Research Insight for their function, once we have completed data collection and analysis.

Last year's key issues studies saw several critical trends. With business volatility and risk remaining high, most companies were focusing on innovation-based growth. Enterprise growth targets were increasing, but back-office budgets and staffing were in most cases being cut, creating ever-widening productivity and efficiency gaps. Across the back office, leaders were struggling with an array of priorities, including improving the business value they deliver, developing and managing talent, using technology more effectively, turning data into insights, and standardizing and simplifying their operations.
