Everyone has cut costs and tried to improve working capital. In fact, companies were able to reduce working capital by $63 billion in 2008. But better-performing companies still managed to operate with 48 percent less working capital than the rest and have more than 25 percent higher profitability. What are these companies doing differently?

Learn their secrets, and learn what CFOs, CAOs, and their direct reports really need to do in order to increase corporate cash flow and play a true leadership role in crafting the tools and setting the direction for change.

Using a case study, this Webcast explores a proven three-step, top-down approach for increasing cash flow by:

1. Benchmarking key operationally related financial metrics like growth, profitability, working capital, and fixed-asset utilization.
   
   
2. Linking gaps in these metrics to gaps in operational key performance indicators.
   
   
3. Using these gaps to identify which business processes to work on improving.
   

During this Webcast, participants will learn how to:

• Identify potential cash-flow improvements.
  
• Communicate the need for change.
  
• Estimate the monetary benefits.
  
• Understand the critical success factors.
  
• Cut through organizational silos.
  
• Develop an enterprisewide view of financial performance.
  
  

Each participant will receive a self-assessment template.
