CFOs are at the crossroads of a high-stakes game: funding enterprise innovation while shackled by tight investment budgets. This digital dichotomy demands more than just traditional strategies; it calls for a fresh mindset.

Enter Generative AI (GenAI)—a true game-changer. GenAI doesn’t just enhance productivity; it amplifies the predictive power of finance, turning mountains of data into gold mines of insights. With GenAI, CFOs can unleash a torrent of innovation, supercharge decision-making, and carve out new growth trajectories—all without breaking the bank.

But scaling GenAI is no walk in the park. CFOs must navigate the complexities of paying their debts through years of functional silos and legacy dragons.

Join this HFS-hosted roundtable, supported by TCS, to discuss:

  • The growth imperative for CFOs and the challenges in realizing their ambitions
  • The potential of GenAI beyond productivity for the finance function, what are some of the benchmarking and business value outcomes being projected.
  • How have CFOs initiated this journey and what were some of the challenges.
  • Overcoming enterprise debt across technology, data, skills, and processes.


It’s time to break the mold, harness GenAI, and transform financial leadership from cautious conservatism to fearless futurism.
