Episode # 152: We show how finance becomes a real partner to operations by translating numbers into drivers, embedding FP&A in decisions before they are made, and aligning metrics and incentives to strategy. The result is faster execution, fewer surprises, and teams that own outcomes.
• translating financials into operational drivers
• replacing data dumps with clear operational stories
• partnering early to frame trade‑offs and scenarios
• aligning metrics, goals, and incentives to strategy
• shifting from metric protection to outcome ownership
• strengthening accountability while deepening trust
• practical questions to assess team impact
• getting out of the stovepipe to join project teams
