Agenda

Expectations have increased beyond just maximizing shareholder value, to becoming the architects of value creation. This expanded role means finance must have the right data, technology foundation, and people to be successful. Join us for a conversation between Workday and Deloitte, as they share their perspectives on adapting to the velocity of change, and how to leverage AI and ML.

This panel discussion will delve into the future of accounting, planning, and data management, exploring key trends that will shape the roles of finance in the coming years. Topics include the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and the role of data analytics in decision-making. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that looks beyond the traditional roles.

Sourcing should be simple, but with multiple touch points across a number of departments, simplicity isn't always the first thing that springs to mind when we think about procurement. Often, manual tasks, inefficient onboarding of suppliers and lack of visibility create unnecessary roadblocks.

Hear from Workday customers about how they've overcome these challenges by shifting procurement into the driving seat, increasing visibility, reducing time consuming manual tasks and providing a bird’s eye view of their RFPs.
