Agenda Day 1

12:20 PM THINK TANK C: AI Won’t Kill ERP

AI can generate software in an afternoon, but it can't sign a contract, keep a guarantee, or make a promise — and Franz argues that's actually what you're buying when you buy an ERP. The talk walks through how Lensing holds all three (accountability, operational continuity, and adaptability to future rules) by making the business spec itself the auditable source code, with AI generating changes on top of a controlled floor. Closes with four questions to ask any ERP vendor, and the line: "buy the contract, not the code."

Three key takeaways:

Legacy ERP and AI-native GLs each fail a different leg of the stool — legacy is slow but accountable; AI-native ledgers are fast but carry no real audit position. Neither is safe to choose blindly.
Turning the spec into the source code is what makes AI-generated changes auditable — finance reviews and signs off in business language, not code, and every change is tested and revertible.
Regulation gets rewritten, not just added to (CSRD's scope was cut ~80% after companies built for it) — so "future-proof" has to mean able to unwind, not just able to comply.
