11:00 | Leaders of Change - Strategy and Vision for CHRO’s - Pei Woan Wong, Director, oCHRO and oCIO Solutions, Workday

With the dramatic change that’s taken place in the last few years, CHROs have found themselves in the eye of the storm – and at the centre of converging global crises around skills obsolescence, a post-pandemic reality, equity and inclusion, digital acceleration, a fluid workforce, and economic uncertainty.

11:40 | Leverage AI and ML to Outperform with Skills-Based Talent Management

11:00 | Value Creator: The Next Evolution of Finance - Lee Thong Tan, CFO Practice Lead, Workday

In this highly volatile and uncertain business environment, organisations need to be more agile and adaptable than ever.

To become value creators, finance needs the right data, technology and talent to be successful. Learn how Workday enables finance to become true value partners.

11:40 | Planning in a Time of Economic Uncertainty

With increased economic uncertainty, it is crucial for businesses to be able to plan ahead for change or potential business disruptions. In reality, the planning function in most organisations, especially ones relying on disconnected spreadsheets or legacy systems, simply can’t keep up with today’s rate of change. Learn how a continuous and company-wide planning approach can help your organisation stay ahead of rapid change.

12:00 | Transform Finance through Efficiencies and Augmented Insights Leveraging AI and ML

Thanks to rapid advances in generative AI, ML and advanced analytics, the finance IT ecosystem is fully digital and intelligently automated, processing high-volume transactions faster with increased precision and greater accuracy.
