Operating managers need to develop their financial intelligence and become effective users of financial information. They need to be financially alert, understand how decisions taken by them impact company performance and how this ultimately affects value of the organization. This understanding in turn will help them deliver better results in their own functional areas.

In todays environment, with increasing costs along with inflation and keen competition in the marketplace, there is a greater need for better communication between financial and non-financial professionals.
