From the supplier: The influential function, right decision making actions and enriching contributions of a finance organization and business partner are a compelling vision for business partnership. Partnership conveys a notion of of mutual or joint decision making, accountability and consequence. However, most line managers consider this vision of business partnership as overstepping the bounds of authority and the sharing of too much control and power. Yet slowing down the decision making procedure by ensuring that the right questions are being asked and considered, and facilitating an exploratory process are the essence of the business partner's influence. Among roughly more than 20 administrative roles, the finance professional who assumes the function of business parter is best positioned to enhance business performance.
