Economist Impact

Finance leaders are navigating one of the most volatile markets in decades. Geopolitical conflict, regulatory changes, economic fragmentation, shifting investor expectations and disrupted supply chains are all undermining traditional forecasting methods. Navigating this turbulent business landscape requires CFOs and finance teams to lead with insight-driven, real-time planning and forecasting—and to make quick decisions. The strategy of trying to increase profitability by adopting AI technology to increase growth and reduce costs is looking increasingly appealing.

AI and data analytics is supporting finance leaders to identify trends and patterns, enhance scenario-based planning, detect fraudulent activities and simplify regulatory compliance, all of which are contributing to more efficient growth and profitability.

Legacy systems limit the agility of finance teams due to data silos, as well as pose a security risk. How can finance leaders future-proof their departments by investing in the right, modern technologies? 

Discussion points include:

  • As market volatility persists, how can CFOs and finance leaders adapt financial and operational plans in real time?
  • How can finance leaders navigate uncertainty with better planning, budgeting and forecasting?
  • What are the risks of continuing to rely on legacy systems in a highly dynamic market?
  • How can finance leaders overcome strategic paralysis and employ data, analytics and AI to facilitate planning and decision making? What are some of the use cases?
  • What are the biggest challenges in AI implementation?
  • How can businesses evaluate returns on their investments in AI and data analytics?
