Pilot to Payoff: Achieving ROI from AI

You’ve been asked how your team is applying AI. Now you’re being asked what it returned. Most finance teams can answer the first question and not the second.

Deloitte put numbers on it: 63% of finance teams have deployed AI. 21% say it delivered value.

The reason it stalls is almost always the same. AI never knows your business. Most pilots are built on top of an operating model that was never designed to support AI without a governed data layer, business definitions, or context behind the numbers. The result: the first prompt looks great and the tenth one falls apart.

Join us for breakfast and a candid conversation about why some finance teams are compounding value from AI while others are stuck re-running the same pilot.

What you’ll get:

• The thinking: Hear from thought leaders on the five-layer operating model finance needs now, where most pilots stall, and the build-vs-buy question coming up at every layer.
• The proof: Get the story from a finance leader who’s moved past experimentation and the outcomes they’ve actually driven.
• The look: See governed AI in practice: assistants answering real-data questions, anomaly detection, predictive forecasting, and financial data connected into Claude and your existing tools via MCP.

You’ll leave with a clear view of the operating model behind AI that works, and where to start building it in your own organization.
