PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
AI adoption is more than a technology decision. It is a leadership and business performance challenge. For CFOs at middle market businesses, the opportunity is to move beyond approving AI investments and actively shape where AI is used, how teams adopt it, and how the business measures success. But where should finance leaders start, and how can they build momentum while maintaining financial discipline and control?
In this session, Ryan Steck will explore a practical approach to leading AI adoption with lean teams, limited budgets, and existing systems. Learn how to identify valuable use cases, build executive and employee buy in, and partner with IT and operating leaders to move from isolated experiments to everyday use. The discussion will address data readiness, team skills, and accountability, including where generative and agentic AI fit and where human judgment and approvals remain essential. Using finance as a starting point for broader business adoption, the session will examine opportunities in cash flow forecasting, management reporting, and operational decision making. Challenges involving multiple entities, including Lead adoption, not just approve investment. Build executive alignment, address employee concerns, and establish clear ownership to help teams incorporate AI into their work.
