Executive Summit

With the expansion of AI capabilities transforming business operations, finance leaders have the opportunity to leverage intelligent performance metrics to drive organizational and operational transformation. AI can bridge key gaps between financial indicators and strategic goals, identify and eliminate inefficiencies and create measurable value.

Join MIT Sloan Research Fellow Michael Schrage for this interactive session to explore:

• Practical approaches to evolve KPI frameworks for strategic impact
• GenAI solutions that reveal critical and fixable gaps in financial-strategic alignment
• Actionable methods to enhance your role in allocating capital and advancing corporate objectives

Cautious, yet optimistic, CFOs recognize the potential of AI to drive efficiency and innovation within their function and broader organization. Despite vast enthusiasm around AI, many financial leaders still feel nascent on its potential and eager to uncover successful and specific use cases, with only 16% of CFOs telling Gartner they have seen significant ROI on AI implementation.

Join this collaborative session to:

• Demystify AI through peer benchmarking high-value wins and strategic alignments
• Leverage AI to simplify routine processes and contribute to long-term strategic planning
• Investigate integration of AI into existing systems without reinventing the wheel

Modernizing and streamlining finance processes is now a strategic imperative— enabling enterprise growth, delivering operational efficiencies, improving the customer experience and ensuring ROI from technology investments. What processes should CFOs prioritize to drive profitable and efficient growth?

Join this session to discuss:

• Proven frameworks and approaches CFOs are using to modernize and automate finance processes across the enterprise
• Accounts receivable (AR) as a case study for streamlining operations, reducing risk, and supporting growth initiatives
• How process modernization and automation frees up finance talent for higher-value, strategic work

To meet rising stakeholder expectations and business needs beyond core finance, CFOs must evolve into more strategic business leaders. This transformation requires optimizing time allocation and enhancing communication to maximize leadership impact.

Join this discussion to uncover how to:

• Amplify the finance function's value and leadership effectiveness
• Communicate effectively with CEOs, boards and stakeholders
• Expand into strategic domains, including preparing for external board roles
