Finance and Procurement

The role of finance in organisations cross-industry is rapidly changing. Instead of being solely responsible for the financial viability of organisations, finance is becoming an enabling factor for operations and innovation, increasingly integrating technological advances. An example of this is concerns the Risks and Regulations that go hand in hand with novel business models built around consumer data.

In this theme, we focus on experience-driven knowledge exchanges that outline the latest developments in the CFO office cross-industry, whilst providing an understanding of the developing financial climate that all organisations will have to deal with.

Navigating Transparency | Lessons in Leadership and Collaboration with Royal FloraHolland

28/01/2025

During this Vision Dinner, David van Mechelen, CFO at Royal FloraHolland, will share with you his lessons-learned and challenges when it comes to transparency and compliance. In a cooperative such as Royal FloraHolland, transparency transcends the organisation and comes with the challenge of working together with members and partners. But how do you successfully collaborate on transparency in this particular environment with many different commercial interests? What do you do when partners do not want to be transparent? Or when they do not trust you with their data? And is compliancy the end-goal or do you strive for higher standards when it comes to topics such as sustainability?

Why

Because Flevum

When looking for opportunities to share knowledge and experiences with peers in your field of expertise, Flevum offers a variety of programs which allow open dialogue. Our sessions are based on undermentioned key points.

Small-scaled

Because we want to ensure open dialogue, our sessions have a small-scaled nature. This way, we allow participants to share experiences and recently faced challenges. The group of participants varies from 10 to 25.

Cross-industry

During our sessions, we bring together participants from various sectors and/or industries. This means participants can share their experiences with peers from other sectors and this allows participants to have a meaningful experience.

Practice-oriented speakers

Our sessions are introduced by relevant keynote speakers from top 500 companies, healthcare institutions and government institutions. The speaker presents his or her own vision regarding the subject by sharing experiences. The brief introduction will serve as a prelude to the following discussion.

Peer-to-peer & cross-learning

Our sessions focus on peer-to-peer knowledge exchange with a cross-learning character. This means executives will engage in conversation with other executives, CHRO's with CHRO's, but also IT Directors with Data Directors or Innovation Directors. By screening every application to a session, we make sure that all participants are from the same audience. This allows us to ensure peer-to-peer knowledge exchange.

Chatham House Rule

To ensure open dialogue and allow participants to share succes, challenges and other experiences, our sessions are held within an enclosed environment (the Chatham House Rule applies). To be concrete, this means no recordings will be made during the session and shared information will remain private to participants.
