Finance leaders agree that artificial intelligence offers the promise of increased productivity for a function facing growing complexity and uncertainty.

However, only 30% of finance teams are succeeding with their AI initiatives. Leading organizations recognize that AI is different from other technologies, and that to get the promised value, a new approach is necessary.

Surprisingly, the most impactful AI decisions are not technical; they are made before the first line of code is written.
