Driving Efficient Growth: How Leading CFOs Strengthen Performance

CFOs face mounting pressure to deliver growth and expand margins despite uncertain demand, rising input costs, expensive capital and economic policy volatility. Yet only 5% of companies consistently achieve efficient growth — the ability to deliver above‑industry revenue growth, margin expansion and capital efficiency over time.

This webinar shares new Gartner research on how leading companies excel in efficient growth. Attendees will learn how top‑performing CFOs make coordinated decisions across cash, cost, SG&A and debt to build a system of financial choices that strengthens resilience and drives sustained performance. Gartner analysis shows that companies that excel in these areas deliver 51% higher total shareholder returns than their peers. The session highlights practical actions finance leaders can take now to improve margins, protect resilience and fund growth in a constrained environment.

• Explore how efficient growth companies make coordinated financial decisions across cash, cost, SG&A and debt to strengthen resilience and improve performance.

• Redesign cost structures and SG&A to fund strategic capabilities while maintaining margin discipline.

• Use liquidity, structural cost changes and intentional debt deployment to support growth in constrained conditions.
