A Talk by Oliver Deacon and Kevin Appleby

About this Talk


Being a great finance business partner, or FBP, isn’t about being good at finance, it’s about influencing decisions. This taster session will cover the most important FBP tool: the communicator’s secret. You’ll learn how to take tonnes of data and quickly turn it into 3 key points that get your message across in just 90 seconds.

This taster session will help you understand what great finance business partnering is and how we help finance teams step change the way they partner with the wider business, to increase the most important measure of partnering success: influence. This session is the first hour of our very popular 7-workshop series on world class business partnering. You will learn lots for free by attending this event.

Please note that this will be a collaborative session with breakout rooms and is restricted to 100 people. All participants must join with their camera on and be prepared to fully engage in the exercises to develop an essential modern-day finance skill!
