Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept for finance teams — it's here, and it's already changing how the best CFOs operate.
We'll cover real use cases, where AI delivers genuine ROI versus where it falls short, and a practical framework for evaluating AI tools.

What to Expect:
A guided roundtable and hands‑on working session designed to turn “AI interest” into measurable team‑wide practice:
Guided Roundtable: Peer discussion on where adoption stalls... change fatigue, model trust, fragmented data, talent gaps, and what’s working to unblock it.
Live Build: A walk‑through of a rolling forecast / driver model you can adapt: assumptions, drivers, versioning, and governance.
Take‑Home Playbooks: A 90‑day AI Adoption Sprint outline plus checklists, enablement flows, and example comms you can use the next morning.
Operator‑to‑Operator Q&A: Practical lessons from finance teams already shipping AI‑enabled workflows (close acceleration, scenarioing, variance analysis).
