Deloitte 2012 Finance Business Partnering Survey
Responses from our 2012 ‘Changing the focus: Finance business partnering’ survey has confirmed the key challenges that organisations need to overcome:
- The tangible value of partnering activities is not well understood, making it difficult to identify priorities and focus areas for developing Finance Business Partnering capabilities
- Internal information is frequently not credible or accessible, and external data is not commonly considered a key input for Finance Business Partners, meaning that they do not have the tools that support them in making good decisions
- Leaders recognise that partnering often requires a new set of skills and behaviours within their teams, but are unclear about what competencies people do need, and how to develop and retain this different talent pool.
