Companies aren't doing enough to foster finance professionals, and young graduates aren't seeing finance as the path to success, according to Deloitte Consulting's new global survey, "The Finance Talent Challenge: How Leading CFOs are Taking Charge." The report provides insight and suggestions into finding and retaining talent in the finance world. Ken Kunkleman, a director with Deloitte Consulting who spearheaded the project, spoke with Consulting about the report and the firm's suggestions for change.
Consulting: Why did you decide to take on this project?
Kunkleman: We have a group that we call the global finance transformation team. That group gathers to think about things on more of a global basis, and one of the areas of interest was doing some primary research [on] finance talent. We went fairly carefully about deciding what can we ask, what might be interesting to ask. The net result is what we have, which is a very well-responded-to global survey that truly is representative of a global set of findings around finance talent.
