A CFO's 7-item AI plan: unit costs, named owners, and data exclusions first
alex_verem · x · 2026-11-02
An enterprise AI advisor outlines the seven things he'd send a board if asked for an AI plan by Friday: one page listing every AI tool, licence and token bill with what it produced; three workflows where headcount scales with volume (month-end close, collections, claims, onboarding); a cost-and-time figure per unit of work for each (unmeasurable workflows get cut); a named business owner per workflow, with IT only handling security; plus explicit boundaries on which data stays away from which tools. The core pitch: present AI adoption as a measurable, accountable cost ledger, not a vision deck.
