During the past seven years, we’ve worked closely with CFOs, finance leaders, and business partners across industries to answer one question: What does it take for the finance function to lead, not lag, in the AI era? At the Centre for Financial Leadership and Digital Transformation at Vlerick Business School, we’ve immersed ourselves in hundreds of executive conversations and research projects. A key milestone in this journey was the publication in 2023 of our digital-maturity diagnostic in MIT Sloan Management Review, which helps finance teams benchmark their readiness for an AI-driven future.
