How Marsh & McLennan
Strategically Invests in Its Finance Team
The chief financial officer of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC), Mark McGivney, knew his finance colleagues were well trained, and he had confidence in their abilities. But rapid change in the field of finance—new technology, new risks, and new requirements—meant that more strategic, all-encompassing training would benefit his team.
“There were consistent requests across our organization for more training and development at every level. The challenge we faced, though, was how do we train a large organization across the world at an individual level and at scale?”
THE SOLUTION
In response, the MMC Finance Academy was launched. MMC’s Finance Academy is a collaborative online learning and development platform that empowers more than 2,300 Marsh & McLennan finance colleagues to enhance their technical skills and leadership competencies.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS
The platform offers access to high-quality resources and content in the areas of technical skills, business knowledge and soft skills such as improving presentation skills, team management and leadership. To foster digital literacy, Marsh & McLennan’s Global Risk Center partnered with AFP, on its MindShift educational initiative that helps finance professionals navigate the rapid pace of disruptive technology and the future of work.
MMC’s Finance Academy is using several other AFP certification and training offerings. Eighty-five finance staff are studying to pass AFP’s two certification programs—one for FP&A professionals and one for treasury professionals. Meanwhile, Marsh & McLennan finance colleagues can take several online, on-demand AFP courses: FP&A Essentials, Painting with Numbers, Financial Analysis—Critical Thinking and Decision Making, and Financial Modeling.
