In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, the role of the CFO is undergoing a transformative shift. As highlighted in a recent discussion on the Digitally Curious podcast with Christopher Juneau, Head of Market Strategy for SAP Concur, CFOs are increasingly turning to AI to drive strategic growth and innovation. Many of you may already be using SAP Concur without realising it. When you book a trip, submit your expenses, or use the brilliant traveller app Tripit, you’re using SAP Concur services. I spoke with Chris about a couple of recent reports from SAP Concur, one looking at how CFOs are embracing AI and another about measuring and maximising the returns from AI. You can watch a short summary below of our discussion, and the reports and links to the full episode are in the comments below. Key Insights from the CFO Insights Report: 📈 Rising Investment in AI: Despite 58% of CFOs admitting limited understanding of AI, investment in AI technologies has surged from 15% to 51% since 2023. This reflects a growing recognition of AI’s potential to revolutionise financial processes. 💵 AI Applications in Finance: CFOs are leveraging AI for various applications, including journaling and bookkeeping (65%), financial planning (59%), and risk scenario planning (53%). These technologies are not only enhancing efficiency but also enabling more strategic decision-making. 🎓 Bridging the Knowledge Gap: Education is key. SAP Concur is committed to educating financial leaders on AI applications, helping them ask the right questions and implement AI responsibly within their organisations. 💼 AI adoption is not just about cost reduction; it’s about unlocking productivity gains and fostering innovation.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last Thursday for SAP Concur Fusion Exchange in New York City! It was fantastic to catch up with so many of you. A special shout out to Kristina Duber from Lincoln International and Jenny Beth Kissner, CPCP from Dentsply Sirona for sharing your SAP Concur stories on stage with Cate Everett. I’ve already heard from several customers who found them incredibly helpful. I'm also so proud to have Christina Wold and Steve Lee on our team. They joined me during the keynote and are two people who unfailingly walk the walk of putting the customer first. Perhaps the best part of the day? My Swiftie daughters being absolutely thrilled when I told them I walked on and off stage to Taylor Swift's song, "Welcome to New York." Our production team did an awesome job adding that memorable touch. Now on to Fusion Exchange Tokyo!
