The 6-Figure Questions Holding Finance Back & How AI Is Closing the Insight Gap

Every business decision carries a hidden "Paralysis Tax" — the cost of waiting for financial answers. In this session, IDC’s Kevin Permenter unpacks this delay. Discover how AI-driven platforms clear the bottleneck by connecting your data, automating routine analysis, and delivering clear, timely insights.

Attendees will learn:

  • The true organizational cost of time lag and resource drain.
  • Why traditional systems turn highly paid finance talent into human "VLOOKUPs."
  • How AI compresses weeks of analysis into minutes, shifting teams from scorekeeping to value creation.
