Good morning. Finance teams are being reshaped by AI, but there needs to be much more training on how to use it effectively.
That was a central theme we discussed on Tuesday during Fortune‘s Emerging CFO webinar in partnership with Workday, where Casey Caram, principal and human capital practice leader at Deloitte, and several Fortune 500 CFOs, shared insightful perspectives on the skill sets needed in the AI era.
Caram emphasized a unifying principle: “Humans are the differentiating factor” in a world where AI capabilities will increasingly commoditize. He described a three-layer model of skills needed in finance:
—At the foundation are traditional finance capabilities such as accounting, forecasting, and performance management.
—Above that sits a growing layer of AI and data fluency.
