Determining the Best AI Use Cases for Your Organization
Hosted by Amazon Web Services
CFOs are under pressure to deliver measurable AI returns on finance team productivity and value, but identifying the use cases that will drive real impact is challenging amid an overwhelming number of options. The most successful finance leaders recognize that AI's impact comes not from any single use case, but from how use cases work together across orchestrated workflows, from close and consolidation to FP&A, treasury, and controllership. In this session, we'll cut through the noise and share practical frameworks for prioritizing AI investments within the finance function that move from pilot to scaled impact.
Join this session to discuss:
- Examining impactful use cases and best practices from AI-mature finance organizations across key workflows
- Assessing potential value and strategic advantage of proposed initiatives — and where to start first
- Aligning technical foundations and organizational readiness to ensure pilots turn into scaled finance team impact
