Incremental Forces Driving the Need to Enhance GPG Finance Capabilities Beyond Traditional IT FP&A Opex/Capex Oversight

-

Expanded Gatekeeper Role: With GPG’s increasing scope in managing responsibilities and executing strategic initiatives, the importance of a Finance gatekeeper role is at an all-time high to ensure effective oversight and governance.

-
Growing Business Finance Capabilities: In addition to managing the incremental profitability reporting for Xvantage™, Finances needs to be more involved with supporting/tracking the deployment of new platform capabilities—i.e. dynamic pricing, marketing programs, many others —by collaborating closely with BU CFEs to track performance, deployment metrics, and conduct ROI post-mortem analyses, and objectively validating OI impacts.

-
Investment Expenditure Post-Mortem: With the expectation of major Xvantage™ baseline investments moving to “Run” stages in 2025 (from Plan/Build), there is a growing need to plan and deploy more rigorous investment planning and structured post-mortems on significant opex/capex digital investments locally and globally to ensure alignment with strategic goals, ROI targets and learnings for future initiatives. This rigor will require tight coordination with country/regional CFEs for ultimate synergy.

Monitoring KTLO Capabilities: Implement structured monitoring for growing “Run” digital spend areas that are expected to evolve/grow significantly over time, including AWS/Cloud expenditure, external labor efficiency, and other emerging categories.

-
KPI Framework and Rigor: Establish a rigorous framework for critical KPIs, including Cost to Serve and ARR, ensuring calculations, controls, and processes are standardized for potential external use.
