The Centre for Financial Leadership and Digital Transformation is established by Vlerick Business School to advance understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and related technologies to support and assist finance leaders around the globe in understanding the risks and benefits of these technologies and to explore their use for furthering the field and inspiring and educating future generations of finance leaders. Already a major part of everyday life, digitalisation will become more and more integrated into how finance leaders are making decisions the next 50 years. The Centre wants to be a facilitator of this change, inspiring finance leaders by knowledge exchange and committing to research that brings insights that truly improves and simplifies the organisation of the finance function. The Centre’s ambition is to: - Create inspiration by technologies; - Develop relevant knowledge and AI-models; - Educate and coach our finance leaders; - Build a high-level community of CFOs and finance leaders that share the same interest: becoming a successful digital finance leader!
