Shape company strategy, drive performance, and emerge stronger through a focus on what you do, not what you sell.
Amid the excitement of getting back to a semblance of business as usual, you’re probably asking yourself a lot of questions—as in, what is the new normal and where do I go from here? This podcast is the next episode in a new series for CFOs, controllers—really, anyone in finance—asking big questions, like: how do we emerge from a crisis stronger than before? Each week, we’ll focus on a different area that may need your focus in this period of recovery. This week, host Heather Horn sits down with Paul Leinwand, PwC Strategy& Principal, to discuss how companies can emerge stronger through a focus on their unique capabilities, preparing for disruption, and connecting employees to the company’s purpose.
