[Invite-only] Beyond Productivity: How AI Changes the Economics and Operating Model of High Finance - Powered by Rogo
BoardroomExternal LocationInvite-OnlyModerator
About this session
AI is moving beyond standalone productivity tools towards end-to-end workflow automation in investment banking and asset management. The more consequential question is how this reshapes the economics and organisational structures of high finance: the work teams perform, the workflows that can be redesigned, the capabilities firms retain in-house, and the roles where human judgement becomes more valuable.
This hosted Boardroom Dinner will bring together a select group of senior leaders from investment banks, securities firms and asset managers for a candid, off-the-record exchange. The evening will open with focused discussion questions, inviting brief perspectives from each guest before continuing as an open dialogue over a seated dinner.
