Building the Digital CFO Office: From financial control to strategic impact

Event recap

Munich, October 30, 2025 | Finance leaders are under growing pressure to deliver real-time insights, support strategic decision-making, and align closely with operations. Our exclusive event in collaboration with Lucanet explored how CFOs are transforming their organizations through digital tools, xP&A, and integrated planning.

At the recent OMMAX event “Digital CFO Office – Connecting Finance & Operations for smarter value creation”, industry leaders from DHL Supply Chain, Lucanet, and OMMAX came together to explore how finance functions are evolving in the digital age.

The consensus was clear: the CFO is no longer focused solely on financial management, but plays a central role in driving business transformation: combining data, technology, and leadership to accelerate value creation across the organization.

Key takeaways from the event

Finance + Operations = Speed + Precision
Integrated systems at DHL, spanning across 220+ countries and territories, have enabled faster and more precise collaboration between finance and operations. By replacing static budgeting with weekly reporting and rolling forecasts, the company has achieved greater agility and transparency in financial steering.
Turning data chaos into insights
Even unstructured communication (up to 30–40% of all customer data at DHL), such as phone calls, can be processed by AI, streamlining finance workflows and reducing manual overhead.
Faster planning with xP&A
With a real-time demo based on the audience’s own business challenges, Lucanet showed how xP&A tools enable cross-functional planning: no Excel chaos, no silos, just rapid, scenario-based decisions.
CFOs drive transformation
Today’s CFOs must balance cost, service, and cash across fragmented systems and complex supply chains, while embracing AI and xP&A as enablers of business model innovation.
Real-time data is the game-changer
DHL uses live Power BI dashboards to align finance and ops decisions based on shared KPIs, creating a single source of truth across the organization.
