When finance and treasury roles consider applying these emerging technologies to their processes, there are a many opportunities to transform the way they operate and enable their business to be more competitive. There are also serious challenges and considerations in governance, talent strategy, cyber risk, and more that have to be very carefully considered. One thing is clear, however: ignoring these technologies isn’t an option. Finance professionals must prepare for the disruption these technologies will bring, or they will find themselves overwhelmed.
