CFO Luncheon | Strategic Decision-Making

Overview

Factor’s recent survey of Asia/Pacific technology decision makers, revealed that between 70-90% of respondents (depending on the country) are making investments in AI/ML including GenAI for a wide range of applications. Although respondents can see AI/ML’s promise for transforming their financial operations, they are also alert to challenges in ensuring maximum ROI.

Organisations which embrace AI and ML are transforming their planning landscape, accelerating decision-making and generating deepening insights from data. These technologies allow for the swift identification of trends and potential challenges, facilitating proactive course corrections to mitigate risks.

AI/ML-powered planning tools integrate diverse data sources, eliminating information silos and providing a comprehensive overview for more informed choices. The result is improved, expedited, and strategically sound decision-making, enabling organisations to stay ahead of the curve. Planning must be done at a company-wide level and is a continuous process, not a single event, and AI/ML provide the agility and foresight needed to navigate the complexities of the modern business environment. Ultimately its not about replacing people but about giving them the tools to make faster and more informed decisions.

We invite you to join you peers in this highly interactive roundtable to discuss some of the challenges and plans for these initiatives and share best practices as well.
