A “stifler” limits a CEO’s or CFO’s ability to know what is going on in the organization to make informed, insightful and assertive decisions that drive profitable business growth.
There is a price to pay in ignoring the Seven Stiflers—the inability to react quickly to business events as they occur. CFOs who cannot discern their company’s performance might as well retreat to the back offices of yesteryear, crunching the numbers of the previous quarter in their green eye-shades. To join the modern breed of strategic, predictive CFOs requires quickly accumulating comprehensive business intelligence from reliable, real-time performance data.
