Good morning. C-suites around the world are expecting investments in AI to boost productivity, but how exactly does that factor into what CEOs and boards want from their CFOs?
I asked Jeff Constable, who leads Korn Ferry’s Financial Officers Practice in North America and co-leads it globally, what he’s hearing. “We are definitely seeing a need for CFOs to become more ‘AI forward,’” Constable said. That means having a willingness to lean into AI, especially as it relates to internal processes and systems that roll directly up to the CFO. And it could soon change how C-suites recruit new finance chiefs. "I suspect we will see that in the future, but it is early yet," he said.
