Accelerating on the road to value: A holistic approach to drive business growth strategy and boost EBITDA
Many COOs can’t pinpoint their company’s most profitable product. Profit-and-loss statements are aggregates of financial data. But executives who can break the data down and generate information that’s specific to individual products, channels, or customers have a powerful tool to drive performance improvement. The KPMG Intelligence Platform gives them the insights they need.
Topics covered include:
- Analyzing your data with rigor
