the firm”:– Only 20% of CFOs strongly agreed with this statement– 40% of CFOs were neutral, disagreed or strongly disagreed with this

statement

Focus: The CEO How has CEO role changed?

– CEOs now have an active boss

– Enterprise risk continues to increase

– Many more uncertain variables in running a business than only a few years ago

– Time demands are increasing

Observations from IBM Global CEO Survey 2008:– “CEOs anticipate staggering amounts of change ahead. Are CFOs and

their organizations shining the headlights in the right direction? Can their analytical expertise help the entire enterprise manage change more effectively?”

– “More CEOs than ever – 8 in 10 – not only foresee dramatic change but also plan to make bold moves in response. Yet the confidence of CEOs to enact that change is not nearly as high.”

7 Biggest Worries for Board Members

1. Risk – Managing it, what it is and isn’t, and committees that should and shouldn’t handle it

2. The long arm of the government

3. Executive compensation – to restructure or not?

4. Economic uncertainties and preparing for the future

5. Shareholder relations – companies that have constructive dialogue with shareholder bases will be well positioned for legislative changes that may impact the upcoming proxy season

6. Focusing on the Role of the Board

7. Succession planning

CFO Perspective on Finance and Risk CFOs are key owners of risk management in 70% of the

enterprises that are very effective to effective at supporting/managing/mitigating risk– However, only 50% of the organizations surveyed had the Risk

Management function reporting to the CFO 52% of CFOs surveyed said their organization encountered a

major risk event in the past 3 years that substantially affected their operations and/or results– Only 50% of those who experienced such a risk event said their

organization was Very Prepared, Prepared or Adequately Prepared Only 50% of CFOs surveyed said they factor risk into

performance monitoring 80% of CFOs surveyed said their organizations do not

manage risks across functions

Focus: The CFO How has CFO role changed?

– Finance is in the spotlight

– Risk management is now a priority

– Investment decisions are being delayed

– The CFO is more involved in strategy (but to what extent?)

– Levels of communication have increased, internally and externally

– Traditionally focused on credit, liquidity, compliance, but now must:• Address issues that required less attention in the past: cost of capital,

optimum leverage, debt maturities, cash flow, arranging financing• Be capable of evaluating a growing list of market, geopolitical and

operational risks as well

– Must have good understanding of opportunity as well as risk, and the timing implications of both

– Need stronger decision-support capabilities: predictive models and tools, and perceptive people

Conclusions CEO's first foundational task is to achieve a balance between taking

economic risk (promoting creativity and innovation) and managing economic risk

The second redefined foundational CEO task is to fuse this high performance with high integrity. That means adhering to the spirit and letter of formal rules, voluntary adoption of ethical standards that bind the company and its employees, and employee commitment to core values of honesty, candor, fairness, reliability, and trustworthiness—which together are in the enlightened self-interest of the corporation and reduce legal, ethical, and reputational risk

The CFO's role in value creation is threefold. – First, the CFO must be certain that controls are in place and that

meaningful and timely reporting and analysis occurs. – Second, there is another set of risks--the more traditional set around

risk transference whether insurance or financial risks--such as hedging and derivatives.

12

Page 13: Risk Manager as Value Creator How to Speak the Same Language to Influence the C Suite

Conclusions (cont.)– Third, and this is where the CEO and CFO come together, is that the

CFO must be ready to support initiatives meeting the strategic needs of the organization. Credit must be available, working capital managed. But more than that, the CFO must be a main player in the risk identification process partnering with the CEO.

Basic vs. Value-Added Functions of Risk Manager – Sample list

Basic Functions (Examples) Evaluate vendors based on cost. Cost of

Purchase insurance.

Collect exposure information for renewal.

Have broker obtain quotes at different retentions.

Report claims.

Value-Added Contrast (Examples) Evaluate vendors based on balance of cost, ability to achieve strategic objectives,

quality of team, innovation. Evaluate insurance purchasing decisions that optimize risk transfer costs vs. retained

liabilities, tax & cash flow goals. Evaluate risks, including contingent loss exposures and other hidden costs, as well

as emerging risks. Request, analyze and communicate results of decision-support tools such as

actuarial analyses, financial modeling, benchmarking, etc. Analyze claims results and trends and develop risk control plans that mitigate loss.

Interview and select TPA to maximize claim management.

Optimizing Risk Management Outputs Risk Manager is an internal service provider to the company. You

need to sell yourself to C-level mgmt and others. Goals and objectives should align with corporate goals and

objectives. Focus on analysis – not just collecting and providing information.

– Provide a context to make decisions.– Decision-support analytics bring statistical credibility to results and

recommendations.

Content is important, but how you deliver service distinguishes between perception of competent vs. outstanding.

Utilize technology to help you merge information for analysis, measure results and create meaningful reports.

Ensure your communications (written and verbal) achieve strategic goals and articulate the value RM brings to the table.

Satisfaction = Perception - Expectation Neither perception nor expectation necessarily reflects reality. Both

are psychological states of mind.

People and organizations turn to professional services providers (such as the Risk Manager or Broker) for matters of significant uncertainty, importance and risk.

Quality work doesn’t necessarily mean quality service.

The practical meaning of good service and “outstanding” vs. “competent” extends far beyond technical excellence.

– Responsiveness and attitude will drive more trust, confidence, peace of mind. C-level management assumes technical competence.

3 most important keys to success are availability, affability and ability, in that order.

CEO Value Creation Strategies

24Source: IBM Global Business Services, The Global CEO Study 2008

CEO Value Creation Strategy Description Questions CEOs are Asking Themselves

How are we improving decision support capabilities within the Finance organization?

How broad is our view of risk? And is risk management integrated into performance management processes?What are the more discriminating and useful measures to track not only the degree but the effectiveness of change?

How am I helping the business detect shifts in customer preferences and behaviors?

How easily and objectively can we compare business cases across different products / brands, geographies and customers?

What complexities and silos are impacting my enterprise's ability to gain new insights?

How can CFO guide me towards the best bets in addition to policing budgets?

Is the Finance organization positioned to enable these transformations?

Can Finance further integrate itself globally?

How consistent are our processes and data definitions across the Finance organization?

Who is responsible for stewarding enterprise information and maintaining "the truth"? If not Finance, do I have sufficient voice in the stewardship?

What role are global process owners playing in our standardization efforts?

Will the structure of the Finance organization be an enabler of growth?

How is Finance laying the groundwork to help identify and enable new business models?

Who is responsible for supplying data and analysis to drive insight?

How am I identifying and learning from best practices in other industries?

How can Finance ensure the business does well while doing good?

Is CSR on my radar?

Do I have the ability to quantify the true costs and benefits of my enterprise's CSR activities?

Am I incorporating CSR considerations into performance and risk management?

Be not just generous, but genuine

CEOs are increasing investment in CSR by 25% over the next 3 years. Almost 70% of CEOs believe customers' rising CSR expectations are actually an opportunity, a chance to differentiate.

Innovate Beyond Customer Imagination

CEOs are investing in new markets and new ways to engage more informed and collaborative customers.

Hungry for Change - Anticipate and lead change, and perceive market and industry shifts as a chance to surpass the competition

CEOs anticipate staggering amounts of change ahead. More than just responding to change, CEOs want to anticipate and lead change.

Become Globally Integrated - Establish an interdependent network of worldwide assets with the ability to optimize resources horizontally and vertically

CEOs are making major business design changes to capitalize on global integration opportunities. However, Finance oftentimes is structured in a multinational fashion while the enterprise behaves in a more integrated fashion.

Disruptive by Nature - Business model innovation has a much stronger correlation with operating margin growth than the other types of innovation

Business model innovation - particularly changes to enterprise models - is high on the CEO agenda. 44% of CEOs are implementing enterprise model innovations over the next 3 years. They are focused on becoming more specialized and differentiated by rethinking what is done in-house vs.through partners. Implementing these innovative business models requires greater levels of collaboration.

Page 25: Risk Manager as Value Creator How to Speak the Same Language to Influence the C Suite

CEO vs CFO Value Creation Strategies

25

CEO Value Creation Strategy

Business model innovation cuts across divisions, functions and departments and requires the integration of strategy, data and technology; Finance can facilitate innovation by standardizing and simplifying processes and information definitions wherever possible

To make decision support more robust, Finance needs to incorporate external market, competitor and customer data to strengthen the underlying assumptions of the organization's planning and forecasting models so that executives can more confidently take bold action to innovate the business models and potentially disrupt the industry to the organization's advantage

Rethink what is done in-house vs. through partners

CFO serves as conscience and intellect as respects CSR and is uniquely positioned to be the steward for CSR data and help with the performance monitoring and reporting

Finance can play a role in incorporating CSR into the enterprise's overall performance management strategy and establish processes and systems that integrate information across the entire value chain

CFO will be called upon to consider issues like: linkage of CSR initiatives to the enterprise's value drivers, quantification of the costs and benefits of CSR, tracking of real assets (such as carbon offsets), financial risks of not complying with CSR sentiments.

Implement enterprise-wide data definitions; a common "financial language" across the enterprise makes meaningful, objective comparisons possible (example: IFRS vs. GAAP)

Implement enterprise-wide standard chart of accounts

Implement enterprise-wide standardized processes; helps facilitate simplification, scalability and adaptability to new business models, as well as positioning organization to optimize operating models by consolidating routine, repeatable activites to capitalize on economies of scale, specialized labor and implementation of best practices

Establish global owners for key processes (global process ownership is critical to overcoming internal boundaries and barriers)

Explore transactional shared services and outsourcing as alternatives for performing routine, repeatable activities

One of the most critical contributions CFOs and the Finance organization can make is providing market intelligence interwoven with valuable channel and financial insights; in an uncertain and changing environment, Finance must provide leadership in areas well beyond accounting and must help set strategic direction and assist in growing the business. They must bring historical hindsight and a fact-based perspective on the future to support entrepreneurs and new business models while maintaining and improving today's performance

Keep an eye not only on the past and present, but on the future as well

CFO must guide CEO as to best bets, particularly when capital is scarce

Finance needs a systematic method for evaluating potential opportunities, which links performance and risk management to build a more accurate picture of the true costs and benefits

CFO must enable strategic analysis by providing a simplified, single version of "the truth" across the enterprise (facilitates apples-to-apples comparison among various customer, segment, product and market opportunities)

CFO must combine disparate financial and operational data to allow for unique insights and market intelligence that can help shape or influence customer behavior; organization must be able to predict (not just detect) shifts in customer preferences

Finance can facilitate innovation by standardizing and simplyfing process, information and definitions wherever possible.

Be not just generous, but genuine

Hungry for Change - CEO wants to anticipate and lead change and perceive market and industry shifts as a chance to surpass the competition

Become Globally Integrated - Establish an interdependent network of worldwide assets with the ability to optimize resources horizontally and vertically

Innovate Beyond Customer Imagination

Disruptive by Nature - Business model innovation has a much stronger correlation with operating margin growth than the other types of innovation

CFO Value Creation Strategy

Develop stronger decision support capabilities, including predictive models and tools as well as perceptive people

Implement risk-adjusted performance management reporting that integrates information across the enterprise

Expand Finance's view of risk beyond credit, liquidity and compliance; include a growing list of market, geopolitical and operational risks as well (only 52% of CFOs surveyed had any sort of formal program to manage risk)

Develop a set of discriminating and useful measures to track not only the degree but the effectiveness of change

Some Metrics Don’t Measure Value Well

28Source: “EVA Momentum: The One Ratio That Tells the Whole Story” by Bennett Stewart, EVA Dimensions, Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, Volume 21 Number 2, Spring 2009

Metric Definition Challenges

Sales Growth Rate delta sales/sales 1. Ignores costs and capital expended to achieve the growth

1. Net income follows accounting logic rather than business economics. To meet short-term goals, managers defer or cut discretionary spending, postpone valuable restructuring initiatives, and manipulate bookkeeping entries instead of generating cash

2. EPS incorrectly mixes operating and financing decisions, tempting managers to boost EPS with transitory share repurchases and off-balance-sheet financings

3. EPS is easily "manufactured" by investing in low return projects that give investors less profit than they could earn elsewhere at the same risk

1. Market share is not a value driver per se, but is the result of doing other things well

2. A temptation is to "buy" share instead of earning it through a superior business model

1. Lower margins can be more than offset by more rapid growth

2. Lower margins can be more than offset by more rapid asset turns (for example, outsourcing assets and vertical de-integration tend to reduce margins in exchange for reducing capital)

1. Value increases when new projects cover the cost of capital, but ROC increases when new projects earn more than the existing average return on capital

2. To increase ROC, profitable divisions will reject projects they should accept, and struggling ones will accept ones they should reject

3. ROC goals encourage managers to scale individual projects to maximize incremental return, which is generally well short of the size that maximizes total net present value

Return on Capital (ROC) profit/capital

Earnings per Share (EPS) net income/shares

Market Share sales/sector sales

Profit Margins profit/sales
