It is an exciting time to be in tech. With nine out of ten CFOs projecting higher AI budgets in 2024, how will the integration of AI in business impact the skill sets required for the CFOs? How can AI bring benefits to the day-to-day financial processes including working capital management? And what are some of the things that we need to keep in mind to ensure relevant, reliable, and responsible business AI? In this episode of One Vision, we chat with Christian Hecker, SVP and Chief Revenue Officer, Office of the CFO at SAP, and Thomas Mehlkopf, GM and Head of Working Capital Management Center of Excellence at SAP, on how AI can transform the future of work and the collaboration between CFOs and CIOs in driving digital transformation.
