AI is a topic that fascinates me as one of my colleagues is operating at the cutting edge and we talk about it every day. At Finance Transformation Consulting your Finance Systems Strategy will have to incorporate AI or will it?
Now regular readers of this Parish know that I like to spark a debate and get your thought processes flowing. I could sit here and go "Finance AI its a no brainer" but really that actually insults the intelligence of my readership. Its like going Finance Automation must be done in every instance and is the answer to everything regardless of such outdated notions as a well worked Business Case.
I daresay there are those who reckon AI could sort Utd's defence, attack and goalkeeper but they weren't at the Theatre of Dreams for the last 8 minutes on Thursday night, oh no, they had left early, chuckle.
AI this and AI that, an awesome piece of technological advance in search of a Use Case like some love lost teenager. You can quote me on that in the Broadsheets but I expect a 'hat tip'. Yet every time it gets discussed I am still waiting on someone to take a Case Study out of the great Magicians Hat and go voila! Buy this and buy it now.
Oh, I hear all about 'The Playbook' and what you could do. The World Famous 'Art of the Possible' gets trotted out like old Sky Presenters in search of a new gig.
So, I was discussing this very topic not 60 minutes ago, that is how hot off the presses my Newsletter is, it is cutting edge in 'almost' real time. You could say AI wrote it but lets face facts one quick witted Dub versus AI, I know who my monies on.
I am waiting on a CFO, not a CONSULTANT or a salesman to pop in a Comment, which goes 'we did this, saved shedloads of cash, you must try it to'. Go on, go ahead make my day as some famous actor used to say.
You can DM me if you don't want anyone else to know how it went.
Safe trip home folks. Read more about our Finance Transformation, Finance Shared Services and Finance Systems Strategy services, then lets have a real conversation.
