In today’s dynamic business environment, the finance function is at the forefront of transformation, evolving from a traditional transaction stewardship role to a driver of innovation, strategic value and change instigation. This change can seem daunting, particularly when AI comes into play, but it needn’t be. This course equips participants with the tools and insights needed to modernise their functions and build AI-enabled teams prepared for the challenges and opportunities ahead. 

This course not only shows how AI is reshaping the finance landscape but also enables you to create a customised action plan which you can take away and start implementing. This is achieved through the following three steps: 

• Imagine: Vision setting, SWOT, future objectives 

• Review: Assessment of current capabilities; people, process, technology and data 

• Plan: Roadmap development with identified initiatives. 

If you are part of a transformation team, we encourage you to attend with colleagues to maximise the benefits of this session. 

Attendance includes a free bespoke follow up session with a member of our finance transformation team to check in on your roadmap and offer further practical implementation advice. 

• Understanding the impact of AI on the finance function 

• Imagine: What does an AI-powered finance function look like for your organisation? 

• Review: Identifying and prioritising initiatives to improve your finance function 

• Plan: Developing a roadmap tailored to achieve your AI-powered finance function. 

• Group live instruction designed and delivered by subject matter experts 

• You will be actively thinking about and writing up components needed to build your roadmap with the support of our facilitators 

• While not a requirement, you will get even more out of this training if you attend with colleagues – you can collaborate on a shared roadmap 

• In line with VantagePoint’s sustainability commitment, all course materials are provided in soft copy, with printed handouts limited to in-class exercises only.
