And here is the News...

Delighted to see I have passed 2k Subscribers on the new Newsletter and in true '2 Ronnies' fashion, here is the News. By the time of writing Ireland should have started our 6 Nations Title defence with a handy home win. By the time this is actually Posted, who knows.

In more important matters, its only Rugby after all, Man Utd are starting to turn the corner. We are unbeaten in Europe, despite fielding more Managers than the aforementioned 2 Ronnies and we are starting to climb the Table. We may not win the League but at the rate Forest are flying, neither will Liverpool, so we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

Over the last 2 weeks I have launched my new Guest Feature Writer and so far we have had one Business Transformation and one Marketing Leader feature. Coming up next to talk all things people and change is Mark Vincent who should be featuring in both video and written form. I have to say he is really raising what is already a high bar and I am looking forward to his Article.

Steve Carr talked all about AI in Finance Transformation and you can read that here:

AI - Finance Enabler or just Tech 'Green washing?' | LinkedIn

Then Marketing Leader Justin Healy followed it up with a very interesting perspective on Transformation from a Marketing Leader at the top of his game, check it out if you missed it:

MARKETING INSPIRED TRANSFORMATION | LinkedIn

In other News I will shortly be launching a new 'Digitisation of the Finance Function' Training Course to go with the Videos available on my Website which you can view at:

Finance Transformation Training

To cap a fantastic week our Brand Ambassador added another Athlete of the Month Title to her ever growing Trophy Cabinet and we wish her well in the coming Indoor Season.

It has been a busy start to 2025 and I shall settle back into the Newsletter routine by the end of next week.

In the meantime enjoy the Guest Writers and have a great Bank Holiday folks.

Best Regards,

Michael Ryan

Congratulations on reaching 2k subscribers! I appreciate how you encourage Finance leaders to learn from digital transformation successes in other departments. One noteworthy discovery this year is that Finance is lagging behind Marketing and Sales in adopting AI. This realisation prompted us to examine Finance use cases more closely and form partnerships that guide our clients from ideation and strategy, through experimentation, proving the value, and ultimately embedding solutions at scale. However, we have also noticed that FOBO (Fear Of Better Options) can hold Finance leaders back from advancing beyond the experimentation phase. At a minimum, we believe Finance leaders should have an AI Assistant implemented on their website, intranet, or digital reports—or guide their organisation to do so. We have the technology and processes to get a site up and running in under an hour, and we’re happy to offer this free of charge to the community. Please send me a DM, and I’ll forward you the link.
