Overview

In a landscape where businesses are maturing and evolving, the role of a strategically-minded CFO becomes increasingly complex. The challenge lies in optimising expenditures while simultaneously empowering the business to sustain, and even accelerate, its growth. The last few years’ mantra of ‘growth at all costs’ has given way to ‘efficient growth only’.

But efficiency hinges on several key fundamentals: transparency of spending vs. outcome; effectively executed procurement; fostering strong cross-departmental partnerships, and wisely managing tech investments.
So, how can a CFO regain control over spend and fully leverage it without hampering innovation and growth?

Marvin Lange, CFO of IU Group, Germany’s largest private university group, will share his insights and discuss strategies for successfully achieving this delicate balance. He will address questions such as:

• How can finance teams attain accurate visibility of spend vs. impact and ensure accountability among internal stakeholders?

• How do top CFOs successfully reduce spending while still equipping the business for performance and ongoing innovation?

• What are the secrets behind fast and smooth technology (re)negotiations?

Join us to explore these crucial aspects of financial leadership and learn how to drive efficient growth throughout your organization.

Overview

The impact of generative AI is now a fundamental part of business transformation with policy decisions made today having far reaching implications for years to come, impacting both the speed of gen AI deployment and the extent to which new challenges are overcome. Zero Trust architectures become even more relevant, as gen AI increases the complexity of systems, creating further potential gaps in integration, greater difficulty in securing your third-party supply chain, as well as specific new problems and vulnerabilities. Consequently, it is imperative that decisions are fully informed, using the best advice available from those with real world transformation experience in your sector. If you have, or plan to adopt, a zero-trust architecture to strengthen your security and resilience, it must now be adapted to take into account the new variables introduced by gen AI.

Discussion Points

 

  • How a Zero Trust architecture is still appropriate in the age of gen AI – and how it needs to be adapted.
  • What are the new challenges you will face securing transformation with gen AI, and how to address them.
  • What you should do yourself, and when outside expertise is the best option.
  • How to measure the maturity of your AI-ready Zero Trust Architecture.
  • Maintaining regulatory compliance standards during the transformation journey.

Overview

Accelerate the impact of AI with IBM and LTIMindtree
The AI landscape has very quickly evolved from the “run your business and apply AI to help” paradigm to a reality where many enterprises are racing to embed AI into how they operate. In fact, a new IBM study found that 75% of CEOs surveyed said they believe the organization with the most advanced generative AI wins, while 43% said their enterprises are already using generative AI to inform strategic decisions.

However, there are several emerging concerns with generative AI, such as how to:
– Keep pace with the rapid innovation of AI technologies.
– Monitor the accuracy and trustworthiness of models.
– Trust closed proprietary models without knowing how they were trained.
– Minimize the cost and energy consumption of largescale models.

To discuss above mentioned concerns and beyond, LTIMindtree and IBM invite you for an exclusive roundtable. It is nothing like meeting with like-minded industry peers over drinks and a sumptuous dinner to discuss the latest in technology.
