This study examines how potential candidates for the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) role are identified, the approaches commonly used to increase a candidate’s readiness, the procedures used to make the final selection, best practices in onboarding and obstacles that may arise at each stage.
In the spirit of our highly esteemed “CEO Succession Planning Playbook”, the outcome of this study will be a comprehensive guide specifically geared toward the unique succession planning process for the critical role of CFO. Our research team is in the process of interviewing current and former CFOs, members of the Board of Directors and CHROs to capture and consider every vantage point.
If you have this level of experience with CFO selection and would like to be part of the interview process, please contact us at CES@moore.sc.edu.
