Webinar Description

AI adoption in finance organizations more than doubled in a single year, from 34% to 72%, with forecasting and risk management among the leading applications. But adoption alone doesn’t create value. This session, led by Mohamed Desoky, Academic Director of the Master of Financial Technology & Analytics, explores how AI and financial technology are moving finance from explaining what happened to shaping what happens next. It examines where that shift can create measurable value through better decisions, greater efficiency, strong risk management, and new sources of revenue. Participants will also consider what finance leaders need to get right to turn AI adoption into business impact.

About the Tech Insights Series

Executive Tech Insights is a free monthly webinar series from Wake Forest Executive Education and the School of Professional Studies, built around a central theme: how emerging technology is reshaping the way leaders work. Each one-hour session is led by the academic director of one of SPS’s technology-focused master’s degrees, who delivers a condensed executive education workshop on a topic from their field. Sessions also include a brief look at Wake Forest Executive Education’s offerings and the featured master’s degree program, giving attendees a practical introduction to both. Attendees can join any or all sessions based on what’s most relevant to their role and interests.
