When the Magic Runs Out: Building Credibility to Advise on Difficult Decisions

Doing more with less is not sustainable. At some point, all finance professionals realize they cannot always “find the money,” and in many cases, attempting such magic undermines trust. When finance professionals serve as leaders, they develop strong relationships with the executive team and elected officials—working together to make difficult decisions and commit to execution.

In this session, speakers will share practical guidance and lessons learned on how to offer “fearless advice.” Delivering messages with confidence and providing actionable information is necessary for sound executive and policy decision-making—especially when facing difficult choices.
