Sydney FP&A Leaders Breakfast: Turning AI Ambition into Planning Impact
An exclusive breakfast briefing for CFOs, Finance and FP&A leaders.
Finance is entering a new era of decision-making. For today's finance leaders, success is no longer defined by producing a plan - it's about making faster, more confident decisions as business conditions evolve while maintaining governance, trust, and accountability.
Join Workday Adaptive Planning for an exclusive breakfast briefing exploring how AI is transforming planning and decision-making. Through expert insights, practical examples, and live demonstrations, you'll discover how leading finance teams are using AI to model uncertainty, uncover the drivers behind performance, and turn insights into action with greater speed and confidence.
Featuring special guest Tariq Munir, Author, Global Speaker, and AI Transformation Advisor, this session offers an independent practitioner's perspective on where FP&A stands with AI today and what it takes to move beyond experimentation to build an AI-ready planning function that delivers lasting business impact.
