As the boundaries of the finance function expand, digital acceleration and AI adoption have become central to the CFO agenda. With 84% of finance teams in planning or deployment with AI as of 2025, today’s finance leaders are uniquely positioned to drive cost-efficient growth and build resilient, future-ready teams. However, they must do so while balancing enterprise cost discipline and accelerating strategic investments amid persistent economic headwinds, regulatory shifts, and technological evolution.
The challenge: making every investment count, accelerating transformation with limited technology budgets, and ensuring finance remains the engine of strategic insight and innovation.
- How is your finance team prioritizing AI to deliver measurable business value? Which AI capabilities do you feel comfortable with and which still feel immature?
- What is one transformation bet you are making right now with AI in your finance function?
- What steps do you take to ensure cost discipline when pursuing a bold AI investment for your Finance team?
- How are you evolving the talent, skills, and operating model of your finance organization to keep pace with digital acceleration?
