Too often, innovation is conflated with complexity. We chase tools and technologies that seem revolutionary, overlooking simpler, smarter solutions that already exist. I propose it is the role of the CFO to not only invest in new technology but to be mindful of striking a balance between innovation and return on investment (ROI).
