S5E1: Outcome-Driven Finance - with Marie-Luise Lehmann from Deloitte

Marie-Luise Lehmann is an executive with over 15 years of
experience in the fields of finance and agile transformation.
Currently, she’s Chief of Staff to the Deloitte Consulting
Germany and EMEA CEO and COO as well as Office Lead for the CxO
and Agile Finance Lead.


She’s also the founder of Finance goes agile - a Think Tank for
agility and corporate finance in German-speaking countries where
she tackles topics such as:


controlling in volatile times

sustainable budgeting processes

effectiveness and efficiency in finance departments

agility and flexibility of the finance function.



She is a regular speaker and author as well as lecturer at the
University of Lucerne.





In today’s podcast, we talk about what is the role of Finance and
CFOs in steering their companies in times of volatility and
uncertainty. We also debunk the myth that Outcome Management and
OKRs are not an HR tool, but rather one for better strategy
execution.


We challenged the established norms in controlling and finance,
stressing the need for agility and flexibility of the finance
function especially as more and more companies embrace digital
transformation.


We also tackle the up and coming topic of outcome-based finance
and outcome-based budgeting.


Finally, we touch on the challenges of making this shift.
