Reinventing the CFO for the digital age

<table width="633" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="403" valign="top"> In this episodewe share McKinsey global managing partner Kevin Sneader’s recent address to a gathering of CFOs in London. The conference’s theme was around reinventing the role of the CFO and how digital and analytics are helping drive this reinvention. Kevin’s remarks focused on macro disruptions and the implications for business and society. He sets the stage with a historical perspective on the pace of disruptive technological change using the SS Savannah,one of the first hybrid sailing ships that augmented wind power with a steam engine, to highlight that while change is a constant, the pace of disruptive change has risen dramatically—and will continue to do so. <a href="http://podcasts.mckinsey.com/l?r=misc&s=_misc&i=6c633a31303030303163346b67616e38767339343665&he=687474702533412532462532467777772e6d636b696e7365792e636f6d253246617373657473253246646f74636f6d2532467468652d73747261746567792d726f6f6d2d706f6463617374253246696e736964652d7468652d73747261746567792d726f6f6d2d4672616d696e672d7265696e76656e74696f6e2d576861742d646973727570746976652d6368616e67652d6d65616e732d666f722d627573696e6573732d736f63696574792d616e642d796f752e6d7033">Read more &#62;</a> <a href="http://podcasts.mckinsey.com/l?r=misc&s=_misc&i=6c633a31303030303163346b67616e38767339343665&he=68747470253341253246253246706f6463617374732e6d636b696e7365792e636f6d253246706f64636173742533467063253344696e736964657468657374726174656779726f6f6d5f6974756e65732532367075253344687474702532353341253235324625323532467777772e6d636b696e7365792e636f6d25323532466173736574732532353246646f74636f6d25323532467468652d73747261746567792d726f6f6d2d706f64636173742532353246696e736964652d7468652d73747261746567792d726f6f6d2d4672616d696e672d7265696e76656e74696f6e2d576861742d646973727570746976652d6368616e67652d6d65616e732d666f722d627573696e6573732d736f63696574792d616e642d796f752e6d7033253236706e2533444672616d696e672532427265696e76656e74696f6e253235334125324257686174253242646973727570746976652532426368616e67652532426d65616e73253242666f72253242627573696e6573732532353243253242736f63696574792532353243253242616e64253242796f75"> <img src="http://podcasts.mckinsey.com/x/img/podcast.gif" border="0"/></a>&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://podcasts.mckinsey.com/l?r=misc&s=_misc&i=6c633a31303030303163346b67616e38767339343665&he=68747470253341253246253246706f6463617374732e6d636b696e7365792e636f6d253246706f64636173742533467063253344696e736964657468657374726174656779726f6f6d5f6974756e65732532367075253344687474702532353341253235324625323532467777772e6d636b696e7365792e636f6d25323532466173736574732532353246646f74636f6d25323532467468652d73747261746567792d726f6f6d2d706f64636173742532353246696e736964652d7468652d73747261746567792d726f6f6d2d4672616d696e672d7265696e76656e74696f6e2d576861742d646973727570746976652d6368616e67652d6d65616e732d666f722d627573696e6573732d736f63696574792d616e642d796f752e6d7033253236706e2533444672616d696e672532427265696e76656e74696f6e253235334125324257686174253242646973727570746976652532426368616e67652532426d65616e73253242666f72253242627573696e6573732532353243253242736f63696574792532353243253242616e64253242796f75"> Listen to the podcast (duration: 36:00) &#62; </td> <td width="16">&nbsp;</td> <td width="150"</td> </tr> </table><img src="http://podcasts.mckinsey.com/iop.gif?r=misc&s=_misc&i=lc%3A100001c4kgan8vs946e" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>

Framing reinvention: What disruptive change means for business, society, and you

We talk with McKinsey partners and corporate executives on the challenges they face creating lasting strategies in a fast-changing world.
