Late last year I had the opportunity to sit down with Michael Lashinsky, a Gartner analyst, and describe how my team in The AES Corporation is thinking about AI adoption from a use-case and talent perspective. That study was published last week--it's fair to say that the context around AI in the enterprise continues to move very fast, but I still think the beginnings of our framework is still useful. I hope others can find it helpful! Emerging Practice: Build Generative AI Competencies in FP&A (AES) (gartner.com)

I think the most important thing we focus on is the starting point as a list of business needs. It’s super tempting to see a tech demo and jump immediately to “how can we use this tool?” Instead we are starting with points of friction, pain, or lack of capability, and then look for ways to address, which may indeed involve an application of AI.
