In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Steve Milligan about his work in Agile Finance and bringing the back-office along on the agile transformation journey.
Why listen to this podcast:
• The funding of agile initiatives has been largely left outside of the scope of transformation efforts, which results in dysfunction and cross purpose
• Agile finance introduces structure so that financial aspects (target setting, budgeting, expenditure and reporting) become synergistic and add to the positive impact of transformation
• Attitude changes need to start with the agile coaching and transformation change agents – they self-constrain and are biased against working with finance groups
• The need to move from static budgets to activity-based budgets and investigate ideas like Beyond Budgeting
• The authoritative bodies (SEC, AICPA) have issued guidance for the accounting profession regarding investigating and determining the applicability of concepts like Beyond Budgeting
