Editor's Note: A Crisis "40 Years in the Making" |
 |
|
Few
business leaders have taken on a challenge as daunting as the one
John Hill faced when he became the CFO of the City of Detroit
shortly after the municipality declared bankruptcy in 2013.
Speaking at Oracle's Modern Finance Experience conference, Hill
described the situation as a crisis "40 years in the making." Yet
he found it hard to implement change, even in an organization where
the need to work differently was readily apparent. In this article,
Detroit CFO: 5 Tips On

city's CIO chose cloud technology that would push them to redesign
financial and HR operations around best
practices, rather than customizing software to
protect existing practices and jobs. For other leaders guiding
their organizations through tough transitions, Hill offers five
change management tips, starting with this smart advice: Talk about
your vision—continuously. |

Why
Sweden's Flipping for Max Burgers
Sweden's Max Hamburgerrestauranger AB serves up high-quality,
freshly cooked food—and a digital customer experience few larger
international rivals can match. All of Max's sales channels are
built on top of Oracle Hospitality RES 3700, an on-premises
point-of-sale software suite that Max connects to its mobile, web,
and kiosk channels using Oracle Hospitality eCommerce Integration
Cloud Service. Now, as the company looks to expand into other
countries, Max is migrating that core technology platform to the
cloud, specifically to Oracle Hospitality Simphony
Cloud. |
