Conference Day 2: Thursday 22nd October
2:50 PM CASE STUDY. REWIRING FINANCE: HUMANS, HUBS AND THE NEW OPERATING MODEL
The old operating models no longer fit the current and future ways of working. Shared-service hubs, AI agents and platforms are transforming not only how finance tasks are done, but who does them and where. As automation spreads and new skills are needed, how should finance leaders design human teams and company structures that are both efficient and adaptable?
• Uncover how to decipher what should stay human and what should be scaled with AI
• Explore how roles will need to adapt in the future to work within this new, future-focused operating model
• Discover how to bridge the right technology with the right people to make change last
