Upcoming

1 hour

What you’ll learn

  • How to build financial transparency across business‑led investments, including those outside IT control

  • How upstream contract decisions shape the majority of AI economics — and how to intervene early to manage risk and cost

  • How to establish value metrics and connect AI spending directly to improved enterprise outcomes and stakeholder confidence


In this webinar, we explore why CIOs must actively govern AI costs, regardless of where they originate across the enterprise. You’ll gain insight into the structural drivers of AI cost volatility and the critical actions CIOs can take to regain control, including building financial transparency, governing contract decisions that determine up to 80% of AI economics, and linking AI spend directly to business outcomes. 


Join this session to learn how leading CIOs are balancing AI innovation with cost control, providing a clear path to turning AI spend into sustained enterprise value.
