1 + 1 + 1 = 400

How seven small AI gains compound into material financial impact

The highest-value AI plan may not begin with a moonshot. It may begin with the small frictions already leaking time, margin, cash, and opportunity across the business. This session gives CFOs a finance-led method to find, value, and sequence seven connected improvements, then shows how the chain produces the year-one 400 percent model without counting the same benefit twice.

What we will work through

Find repeatable one-percent losses in time, errors, delays, rework, and missed revenue where AI has enough context to help.
Quantify each opportunity in annual dollars, working-capital days, recovered capacity, margin, or revenue.
Connect the seven pillars of capture, cycle time, accuracy, handoffs, cash flow, visibility, and revenue into one causal chain.
Sequence initiatives so the output of one improvement strengthens the economics of the next instead of resetting at each handoff.
Build a benefit bridge that separates standalone gains from compounded effects and makes the 400 percent model transparent enough to challenge.

Your leave-the-room outcome

You leave with a seven-pillar opportunity map and a CFO-ready method for showing how overlooked AI improvements can combine into material enterprise value.

60-minute CFO workshop

Pick One. Build It Right.

Turn one recurring CFO task into a usable AI project

This is the working session for CFOs who want to stop experimenting with AI and start using it personally. You will take one recurring finance or leadership task and turn it into a defined project with trusted context, clear boundaries, a measurable outcome, and a first prompt ready to test.

What we will work through

Choose the right first task using three tests: it repeats, failure or delay has a real cost, and the necessary context already exists.
Calculate the task's annual cost through time, leakage, delay, rework, or missed opportunity.
Organize trusted reference material into persistent project context while separating sensitive or prohibited information.
Write project instructions by answering five questions: what AI must know, what good looks like, what it must never do, how success is measured, and what happens when it fails.
Run, evaluate, and refine the first prompt, then define the human review and operating cadence required to use it repeatedly.

Your leave-the-room outcome

You leave with one fully specified AI project, a reusable project brief, a first working prompt, and a method for building the next project after the first one proves useful.

The Three Rules of AI ROI

How CFOs approve, measure, and stop AI projects with numbers

CFOs should not be asked to approve AI because it is innovative, popular, or difficult to ignore. This session provides a numerical investment framework for deciding what deserves funding, defining success before implementation begins, and making scale, adjust, or stop decisions before sunk cost distorts judgment.

What we will work through

Apply Rule 1 by selecting the economic outcome and business KPI that must move before choosing a tool, workflow, or vendor.
Establish a defensible baseline with a named owner, trusted data source, denominator, and measurement window.
Apply Rule 2 by defining done as a numerical target with a deadline, tolerance range, and explicit financial meaning.
Apply Rule 3 by evaluating leading indicators and lagging outcomes on a precommitted review schedule.
Use continue, adjust, expand, or stop rules that account for implementation cost, adoption, control risk, ongoing ownership, and realized value.

Your leave-the-room outcome

You leave with a CFO-ready investment scorecard for approving an AI project, governing it while it operates, and deciding whether to scale it or shut it down.
