The CFO’s Guide to the Agentic Enterprise: Why an Enterprise Strategy Is Your Biggest Financial Lever
Here Is the Reality
Chances are your company is already spending money on AI. McKinsey’s latest research found that 88 percent of organizations use it somewhere in the business, but only 37 percent can tie it to a measurable improvement in EBIT. If you’re in the other 63 percent, you’re in good company.
It doesn’t help that every software vendor is now selling its own AI add-on, which tends to raise IT costs without making your team any more productive.
Here Is the Opportunity
When AI doesn’t pay off, the technology is rarely the problem. The problem is usually how it’s set up: which systems it can see, who controls it, and whether anyone tied it to a financial outcome from the start. In this session, the Naviant team will walk finance leaders through a practical way to get that right, including how to keep your General Ledger firmly in human hands.
