Redefining Finance: How Forward-Looking CFOs Are Building Future-Ready Teams & Tech Stacks with SC&H

Contributed by SC&H

Finance is shifting from hindsight to foresight—from reporting on the past to actively shaping what comes next. That means spending less time compiling data and more time applying it to guide decisions, influence strategy, and drive results.

This transition doesn’t happen automatically. It requires new tools, new structures, and a new mindset. CFOs are leading the charge, pushing finance teams to operate more like strategic partners and less like support centers. But to get there, they need a clear vision, a modern finance tech stack, and the right mix of technical fluency and business acumen across the team.

This whitepaper outlines three key trends driving that shift and what it takes to respond: from embedding AI into everyday operations to retraining teams for cross-functional work and adapting digital systems for continuous planning. Each trend points to a broader goal—building a finance function that can move faster, think ahead, and lead with confidence.

Download the whitepaper now and discover how finance leaders are rethinking their operating models to drive smarter, faster growth.

Market Spotlight: The Status Quo Trap with Varicent

Contributed by Varicent

Our partners at Varicent just wrapped the largest study in sales performance, and what 1,400 revenue leaders told them will probably change how you think about growth.

As a leader in sales and revenue performance management, Varicent helps companies worldwide design, amplify, and optimize their go-to-market strategies, with intelligent territory and quota plans, efficient RevOps, and incentive programs that actually drive growth.

So, what did the research uncover?

First: what gets leaders most worried isn’t budgets. Or the market. Or AI. Instead, they’re most worried about internal issues: talent gaps, unreliable metrics, badly-designed incentives. These problems cost teams 6-15% of revenue, and were consistently named as the biggest threats to growth.

Second: leaders say most teams know about these problems. But most also aren’t doing anything about them. A full 92% of leaders named internal friction as a top threat. But only 21% say they’re acting on it.

Luckily, the best teams aren’t waiting. They’re closing these gaps now to unlock more growth, without adding headcount or pipeline.

Don’t be the last to know. Get your copy now.

#MillenniumLive: Brand Gravity: Rewriting the B2B Growth Playbook for a Funnel-Free Future with 2X

In this special MillenniumLive episode, we’re joined by Lisa Cole of 2X to unpack one of the most important shifts happening in B2B marketing today—moving from a funnel-obsessed model to one built on pull, not push. Lisa introduces the concept of Brand Gravity, the centerpiece of her new book, and a compelling answer to the fatigue many marketing leaders feel in chasing leads that never convert. She explores how companies can create “digital mass” by investing in three pillars—content, credibility, and community—to attract modern buyers who are invisible in traditional funnels but very much in control. From debunking outdated lead-gen habits to sharing how top brands are building long-term momentum, this episode is a must-listen for CMOs who are ready to ditch the hamster wheel and embrace a smarter, stickier model of growth.

Key Themes:

Why the traditional B2B funnel is breaking down
Brand Gravity and the power of digital mass
The new growth stack: content, credibility, and community
Shifting internal mindsets from chasing leads to attracting buyers
Measuring long-term brand momentum in a short-term world
