Understanding the Investor Perspective

Business leaders and CFOs should aim to see their businesses from the perspective of investors. Investors consider not just the company's history, but also focus on what's coming next and forecast the value they could get by investing in the business. This data-driven and forward-looking perspective helps investors make dispassionate decisions about whether to stay invested in the business or seek better opportunities elsewhere.
