Connected Planning: The New Competitive Advantage for Modern CFOs
Synopsis:
AI can predict, recommend and generate possibilities—but enterprises cannot run on probabilities alone. Every decision still needs to account for financial impact, operational constraints, business rules and human accountability.

AI and deterministic planning. We’ll explore how organisations can move beyond isolated AI insights to
continuously model scenarios, understand trade-offs and turn intelligence into coordinated action.
The session will also introduce the emerging Agentic Enterprise, where AI agents work alongside people
across Finance, Supply Chain, HR and Sales, grounded in a shared, governed view of the business.
