Although Data & Analytics teams drive significant ROI, help leaders understand their organisations in new and essential ways, and provide part of the toolkit required for the growth of a modern business, in some quarters, they are seen as a 'rival' to the traditional Finance Function. In this episode, Anders discusses why it is vital to harness the skills of each.

As the gathering, manipulation, and analysis of data has come to define many business processes, and given the required disciplines and skills often sit within the Finance Function, Anders asks whether it is reasonable to beg the question, can a Finance professional do the job of a Data & Analytics specialist?

In this episode, Anders weighs up whether the considerable increase in the volume of business-specific data available today, warrants a dedicated team to harness its power and value for critical decision making.

In this pilot episode, Anders discusses the tension that commonly exists between Finance and Data & Analytics teams, and explores how these functions can operate better together in unison to achieve more valuable and actionable business insights.
