EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE

From AI Blueprint to Business Process: Building Integrated AI Workflows

The Agentic Finance Office: Moving from a System of Record to a System of Action

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Legacy financial systems are struggling to keep pace with today’s volatile geopolitical and economic shifts. For the modern CFO, these static architectures have become a strategic barrier to real-time visibility and market growth.

Workday and IDC invite you to an exclusive executive session to define the Finance System of Action. This isn’t just a cloud upgrade; it is a fundamental shift in how “Money and People” data is unified to drive outcomes. By deploying AI agents on a single, trusted platform, Workday enables finance leaders to move from “reporting the past” to “steering the future” with absolute confidence.

The Executive Agenda:

  • Solving the AI Trust Paradox: Discover why 45% of AI initiatives fail due to fragmented data and how a unified core turns every transaction into audit-ready, actionable Enterprise AI.
  • Deploying the Agentic Finance Office: Move beyond basic automation to purpose-built AI agents that handle the “mundane”—from reconciliation to contract negotiation—reclaiming up to 69% of your team’s capacity for strategic leadership.
  • Quantifying the “Operational Alpha”: IDC joins us to provide a framework for measuring the bottom-line impact of a System of Action—a platform that scales with your ambition and secures the internal business case for transformation.

Join us to see how the world’s most innovative leaders are using Enterprise AI to turn architectural complexity into a competitive advantage
