Meet CFO360. CFO360 is a practical concept for holistic finance transformation and execution. It is built on deep experience working with finance leaders across sectors and geographies. CFO360 gives finance leaders a clear, engaging path to identify key priorities and turn them into a practical, sequenced, and actionable plan. It is particularly useful in times of change. Whether you are a seasoned CFO or finance leader navigating strategic change (e.g., M&A, a new strategy, restructuring), or newly appointed, CFO360 is your companion in building a future‑ready finance organisation that delivers measurable business outcomes.
Change is constant and reshaping the CFO agenda
- The CFO mandate continues to expand across FP&A, enterprise data & analytics, risk, corporate strategy, IT, real estate, and ESG, demanding broader leadership.
- While the scope widens, cost discipline remains top of mind, as rising economic and geopolitical volatility reshape priorities.
- Finance must evolve its role – both running the business with resilient core operations while driving transformation for long-term growth.
CFO360 makes change work for you by translating your ambition into focused execution.
Thanks for helping us understand all the dimensions and the landscape of opportunities. Very helpful with the practical examples from your vast experience with the CFO agenda and risk management.

A collaborative approach to define the future
When embarking on the CFO360 journey with us, you will experience a collaborative, tailored workshop series and
diagnostic designed around your strategy, strengths, and challenges. We scan the core building blocks of a future-
ready finance function and, inherent to Implement’s way of working, we co-create a concrete plan together with you
and your team. We do not pre‑decide the focus; your context and challenges determine where we go deep.
You and your team will decide which areas to hone in on and address. This could, for instance, include:
- Performance management
- Processes
- People and competencies
- Organisation and governance
- Data and systems
The experience is hands-on and outcome-driven. We do not lecture; instead, we facilitate lively, interactive sessions with your leadership team and domain experts to answer the questions that matter and define the actions that move the needle.
Through this inspiration, I now know what we need to do and the sequencing.
