April 28, 2011

CHICAGO, IL – Ethan Bach, Principal, will present the topic, Surviving the recovery: achieving enterprise balance, during the Host Analytics’ Focus 2011 customer conference on May 16-19 in San Diego, California.

As organizations emerge from one of the most severe economic downturns in our nation’s history, finance leaders are recognizing more than ever the importance of their role in guiding a return to profitable growth. This session is designed to help executives balance the evaluation of new opportunities while sustaining hard-earned cost savings in an environment where investment capital remains at a premium. There are increasing demands on planning and reporting processes, as well as the systems and people that support them. For organizations that have made the investment to improve the tools and infrastructure that support planning and reporting, this session will help them explore options to model growth scenarios, control costs, and evaluate other strategic opportunities. The topic will focus on aligning investment with a company’s most strategic business objectives to drive maximum value for the organization.
