Crisi climàtica: la disrupció definitiva

Sequeres, inundacions, desglaç i calor extrema. La crisi climàtica és el repte més important per a la generació actual d’un planeta que se’ns desfà a les mans. És la disrupció definitiva que capgira la vida tal com sempre l’hem entès.

Malgrat que el més fàcil seria veure-ho tot negre, en aquesta nova edició de l’Exponential Day volem acostar-nos a l’impacte que té el canvi climàtic des d’una mirada d’esperança: la que poden aportar per combatre’l les solucions fruit de la innovació disruptiva que implementen les empreses.

Dins del compromís necessari per part de tothom, les empreses a través de la innovació disruptiva són el vent que amb més força pot fer amainar la tempesta. Ho constatarem de la mà de Harald Friedl, assessor del Programa de Desenvolupament de l’ONU (UNPD). Friedl ens parlarà dels beneficis d’adoptar pràctiques d’economia circular per reduir els residus, maximitzar l’eficiència dels recursos, accelerar la innovació i créixer de forma sostenible. A més, Iván Bofarull, director d’innovació d’ESADE, ens explicarà com pensar en gran per transformar models de negoci tot generant un impacte positiu pel planeta.

Durant la jornada també coneixerem en directe quatre iniciatives catalanes que contribueixen a la sostenibilitat del planeta. Com sempre, tancarem l’acte descobrint les empreses més disruptives del moment a Catalunya.

T’ho perdràs? Vine a combatre la disrupció definitiva!

En el marc del cinquè aniversari de la companyia a espanya, Qonto té el plaer de convidar-lo a la presentació de l’informe «radiografia econòmica i bancària de la micro i petita empresa a catalunya 2024»

El dijous 11 de juliol, Qonto, la solució financera líder a Europa per a pimes, emprenedors i autònoms inaugurarà oficialment la seva nova seu a Barcelona coincidint amb el cinquè aniversari de la seva arribada a Espanya.

Alexandre Prot, CEO i cofundador de Qonto, i Carles Marcos, director general de Qonto a Espanya, seran presents en una trobada on a més es presentarà davant els mitjans de comunicació l’Informe «Radiografia econòmica i bancària de la micro i petita empresa a Catalunya 2024». Un estudi que recopila les previsions d’inversió, finançament i evolució de la gestió bancària de les micro i petites empreses catalanes, així com la seva comparativa amb la resta d’Espanya.

L’acte comptarà també amb representació institucional de la mà de Liliana Arroyo Moliner, directora general de la Societat Digital de la Generalitat de Catalunya, i Jaume Baró, director executiu d’Empresa i Emprenedoria de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona.

El panorama del liderazgo financiero ha experimentado profundas transformaciones en los últimos años. Los directores financieros (CFO) y sus controladores ya no están confinados a roles tradicionales de simples calculadores; ahora son reconocidos como analistas estratégicos y asesores dentro de sus organizaciones.

Sin embargo, la realidad a menudo es diferente. Hasta un 80% del tiempo de trabajo en control financiero todavía se dedica a la laboriosa extracción, procesamiento y distribución de datos solo para comenzar a analizarlos, dejando solo un 20% para el análisis estratégico y explicativo. Esta ineficiencia no solo socava la productividad, sino que también obstaculiza el desarrollo y la satisfacción de los empleados.

En el webinar aprenderás:

✔️ A cuestionar el status quo en España respecto a la automatización en el control financiero.

✔️ A dominar la transformación empresarial, pasando de una proporción de 80:20 a 20:80.

✔️ A convertir tu departamento en el proveedor de servicios internos más importante.

✔️ A adquirir prácticas recomendadas accionables para mantener una única y confiable fuente de datos.

Únete a nosotros mientras exploramos el futuro del liderazgo financiero, donde las perspectivas impulsadas por datos empoderan a los CFO y controladores para trazar el rumbo hacia el éxito organizacional.
