Signal Strategy-influencing leaders carry about 20% more responsibilities across nine categories

Summary

Deloitte finds that finance leaders who shape enterprise strategy also shoulder a noticeably wider set of duties. Across nine categories of responsibility, they average roughly 20% more responsibilities than the rest of the respondents. This group makes up the 57% who say they play a leading role in strategy development. The report observes that these leaders appear to scale their impact differently from less influential peers. They apply technology and AI-driven tools systematically to cope with their broader remit. In doing so, some are helping recast finance as a proactive business partner aligned with the organization's most important goals.
