AI is transforming finance — but success starts long before implementation.
According to Gartner summarized research, up to 60% of AI projects may fail by 2026/27 due to lacking AI-ready data and governance.
The reason isn’t the technology — it’s fragmented data, unclear ownership, and unprepared teams.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to prepare your finance function for AI by focusing on the fundamentals: clean data, aligned processes, and practical goals.
Rather than hype or abstract theory, this session delivers actionable steps you can take right now to assess your team’s readiness and lay the groundwork for AI-driven efficiency and insight.
You'll learn:
- The biggest blockers to AI Adoption
- The three phases of AI success — from defining goals to implementation
- Why most companies overlook readiness (and how to fix it)
- How to use our free readiness assessment to measure your starting point
