Top Trends and Opportunities for Finance Talent Management

More than a third of respondents to APQC’s annual Financial Management Priorities survey (36 percent) said that finance talent management is a top priority for the finance function in 2022. In March 2022, APQC hosted Dan French for an interview to discuss some of the top trends in finance talent management and what organizations can do to develop new skills in their existing finance talent. French shared insights about how to identify the team members best suited for upskilling or reskilling; what organizations can do to spur creative thinking and problem solving; whether it's better to build or buy finance talent, and more.

This article provides a summary of the interview, which is also available as a podcast.
