00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.500 align:middle line:90%


00:00:02.500 --> 00:00:06.010 align:middle line:84%
Today's finance leaders
have one thing in common--

00:00:06.010 --> 00:00:09.850 align:middle line:84%
a digital first mindset,
using new technologies

00:00:09.850 --> 00:00:13.780 align:middle line:84%
to automate routine tasks,
analyze valuable data,

00:00:13.780 --> 00:00:16.190 align:middle line:90%
and influence business strategy.

00:00:16.190 --> 00:00:19.960 align:middle line:84%
But these digital finance
leaders are the minority.

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.500 align:middle line:84%
A study of more than 700
global finance leaders

00:00:23.500 --> 00:00:27.370 align:middle line:84%
revealed that only 11
percent have embraced AI.

00:00:27.370 --> 00:00:30.900 align:middle line:84%
Only 16 percent have
automated processes.

00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:35.200 align:middle line:84%
90 percent of teams lack the
skills necessary for tomorrow.

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.850 align:middle line:84%
And two-thirds are waiting to
be disrupted rather than disrupt

00:00:39.850 --> 00:00:41.680 align:middle line:90%
their own industries.

00:00:41.680 --> 00:00:46.060 align:middle line:84%
It's time to catch up
or get left behind.

00:00:46.060 --> 00:00:47.800 align:middle line:90%
Disruptors don't take prisoners.

00:00:47.800 --> 00:00:50.400 align:middle line:84%
We need to have
that change mindset.

00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:52.900 align:middle line:84%
And we shouldn't be
afraid of questioning

00:00:52.900 --> 00:00:56.620 align:middle line:84%
our fundamental business model,
and consider disrupting it

00:00:56.620 --> 00:00:58.550 align:middle line:90%
ourselves.

00:00:58.550 --> 00:01:01.210 align:middle line:84%
We will see more and
more organizations

00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:05.120 align:middle line:84%
moving to the cloud, modernizing
their financial back office.

00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.090 align:middle line:84%
And more and more
organizations looking

00:01:07.090 --> 00:01:10.420 align:middle line:84%
to reimagine the
customer experience.

00:01:10.420 --> 00:01:15.460 align:middle line:84%
This is agile finance unleashed,
and these are the superstars

00:01:15.460 --> 00:01:17.787 align:middle line:90%
driving its evolution.

00:01:17.787 --> 00:01:19.620 align:middle line:84%
We are a technology
company, and we are just

00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:21.240 align:middle line:90%
dropped in an industry.

00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:24.390 align:middle line:84%
And we really want to be ahead
of the game on the finance side

00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:25.230 align:middle line:90%
as well.

00:01:25.230 --> 00:01:28.120 align:middle line:84%
My department is focused
on leveraging technology

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.670 align:middle line:90%
to establish processes.

00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:33.543 align:middle line:84%
They are agile enough to support
the company in the future.

00:01:33.543 --> 00:01:35.210 align:middle line:84%
We are completely
reassessing everything

00:01:35.210 --> 00:01:37.540 align:middle line:84%
due to the changes that are
going on in the marketplace.

00:01:37.540 --> 00:01:39.457 align:middle line:84%
And we're making sure
that we're getting ahead

00:01:39.457 --> 00:01:42.330 align:middle line:84%
of the curve with digital
technology, the use of AI,

00:01:42.330 --> 00:01:44.310 align:middle line:84%
machine learning,
working with our partners

00:01:44.310 --> 00:01:45.600 align:middle line:90%
like Oracle around.

00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:47.800 align:middle line:84%
What does this look
like for the future?

00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:50.460 align:middle line:84%
The customer has to be at the
heart of everything that we do.

00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:53.130 align:middle line:84%
And in finance, we
have to modernize

00:01:53.130 --> 00:01:55.650 align:middle line:84%
to accommodate the needs of
the customers in the future.

00:01:55.650 --> 00:01:57.192 align:middle line:84%
In order to do that
in finance, we're

00:01:57.192 --> 00:02:00.640 align:middle line:84%
going to need technologies such
as machine learning, chat bots,

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:03.110 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE].

00:02:03.110 --> 00:02:07.030 align:middle line:84%
As our CEO, Safra
Catz, says at Oracle,

00:02:07.030 --> 00:02:09.800 align:middle line:84%
we're the co-pilots
of the organizations.

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.220 align:middle line:84%
And leaders who do
not assume that role

00:02:13.220 --> 00:02:17.420 align:middle line:84%
will find that their roles will
not have that much influence

00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:19.370 align:middle line:90%
or relevance going forward.

00:02:19.370 --> 00:02:24.340 align:middle line:90%
Standing still is not an option.

00:02:24.340 --> 00:02:27.810 align:middle line:90%
Build tomorrow's finance today.

00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:31.254 align:middle line:90%
