Inventory Is a Financial Strategy. Here’s How to Sell It to Your CFO

Selling to the CFO: Make the Case for Smarter Inventory Planning

 

Inventory is often your biggest expense, and one of your strongest levers for financial performance. But many teams struggle to tie inventory decisions to CFO priorities like cash flow, margins, and return on capital.

In this live session, supply chain executive Peter Lijewski will walk through the real math behind inventory ROI and show how to connect your work to what matters most to finance and the business. 

Whether you’re evaluating new tools or seeking stronger alignment with finance, you’ll learn how to tie inventory strategy to financial outcomes, and position planning as a profit driver, not a cost center. 

Why this matters to your business: 

  • Uncover hidden profit losses. Learn how inventory missteps can cost $10K–$250K per month, and how to quantify the financial impact. 
  • Speak your CFO’s language. Get the math, benchmarks, and key metrics that resonate with finance and drive faster buy-in. 
  • Change the mindset, not just the software. Discover how top-performing teams reposition inventory planning as a strategic growth lever, not just an operational task.
