CFO AI Leverage Report: AI Budgets, ROI and Finance Sign-Off

**Event Title** Enterprise AI is moving from experimentation into the finance office. Open Future Forum has released the **CFO AI Leverage Report, Edition 1**, introducing the **Enterprise AI Buying & Budget Index** and the **CFO AI Leverage Index**. The report examines how CFOs and senior finance leaders are evaluating AI budgets, buying authority, ROI, productivity, governance and the question now sitting at the center of enterprise AI adoption: **Can AI help companies grow output without growing headcount at the same rate?** Read the report here: [https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report](https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report) This private executive discussion will focus on what the report means for CFOs, founders, finance leaders, AI operators, investors and enterprise executives. We will look at how AI buying is shifting, who signs off on AI purchases, what finance teams are measuring, and why AI ROI is becoming a CFO-level issue rather than only a technology issue. According to the report, enterprise generative AI spending reached approximately **$37 billion in 2025**, more than tripling from the prior year. At the same time, the share of AI spend funded from experimental innovation budgets fell from **25% to 7%** in one year, showing that AI is moving into core operating budgets. The report also draws on Open Future Forum’s 2026 executive community activity, including **200+ executive registrations across 20+ events**, with **60+ finance leaders and operators**, **50+ security leaders**, and **100+ founders**. In an early directional read, **3 in 5 finance leaders asked said the CFO or finance organization signs off on AI purchases**, rather than the CEO or IT. This discussion is connected to the **CFO Executive Forum**, Open Future Forum’s invitation-only community for CFOs and senior finance leaders of high-growth companies. The CFO Executive Forum hosts small, off-the-record gatherings across Silicon Valley focused on AI, capital allocation, governance, growth, risk, productivity and the changing role of the finance function. Learn more about the CFO Executive Forum here: [https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum](https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum) **What we will discuss** How CFOs are evaluating enterprise AI spend Why AI budgets are moving from innovation budgets into operating budgets Who signs off on enterprise AI purchases How finance leaders are measuring AI ROI Whether AI can create real headcount leverage Where AI improves productivity, margin and capital efficiency Why founders selling AI tools need to understand the finance buyer How boards and investors are starting to ask harder questions about AI value **Who should attend** This event is designed for CFOs, VPs of Finance, controllers, finance operators, CEOs, founders, investors, enterprise AI leaders and executives responsible for AI budgets, AI transformation, productivity, governance or capital allocation. **Why this matters** The first phase of enterprise AI was about adoption. The next phase is about leverage. Executives are no longer asking only whether AI works. They are asking whether AI creates measurable business value, improves productivity, reduces operating drag, supports growth and helps teams do more without simply adding more tools, more vendors and more headcount. That is a finance question. The CFO AI Leverage Report and Enterprise AI Buying & Budget Index are designed to track that shift over time. **Key links** CFO AI Leverage Report: [https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report](https://openfutureforum.com/research/cfo-ai-leverage-report) CFO Executive Forum: [https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum](https://openfutureforum.com/cfo-executive-forum) Open Future Forum: [https://openfutureforum.com](https://openfutureforum.com/)

[in person]Being different isn't a soft skill. It's the next frontier.

NYC SUG is thrilled to host Joanne (Jo) Perold again in person in NYC. A former keynote speaker at one of our Big Apple Scrum Day conferences, Jo is now running annual **[Satir Leadership Development Workshops](https://www.virginiasatircenter.com/trainings-workshops/satir-leadership-development-workshop).** Join us for this very special session and enjoy the opportunity to learn about Virginia Satir work from one and only Jo Perold! **Session Description:** We got very good at changing how we work. We built frameworks, refined processes, ran retrospectives, and shipped faster. And something still isn't working. Because methods can only take you so far. At some point, the constraint isn't the process. It's the person running it. In conversations with leaders across four countries, the same patterns emerged regardless of methodology, team size, or industry. Urgency replacing discernment. People going through the motions without authorship. Teams delivering but not believing their voice changes anything. Leaders protecting their people from above while quietly wondering if any of it is worth it. These aren't process problems. They're human ones. Virginia Satir spent her life asking what it means to be more fully human — and her answers turn out to be exactly what agile practitioners need next. Not better tools. Not more frameworks. The inner capacity to lead well in complexity, uncertainty, and change. This session explores what that capacity looks like, why it matters more than ever now, and what becomes possible when we do our own inner work first. **The next frontier isn't a better process. It's a different person.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\- You too can become a speaker at our meetups!

Team "So What" weekly meeting Essex, Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, Morris Counties

• What we'll do We are a team of men who support one another and help each other grow concerning our "Way of being" in what occurs in our day to day lives. The most important relationship a man will have in his life is the relationship he has with himself. How he shows up in the world stems from that relationship. I experience great joy watching men grow and come to terms with who they are. This is not about figuring out who we are. It's about creating a vision of the best we can be and making that happen. Captain Roloff We are a part of an international men’s organization consisting of over 850 throughout North America and is open to any adult man who seeks to live a purposeful, passionate life and seeks to achieve new levels of personal success. Get an inside view here: http://www.legacymag.org/ Within North America, there are hundreds of men’s teams that consist of anywhere from 5 to 25 men per team. Teams usually meet weekly at men’s homes, places of business or public areas. Teams strive to provide an environment where men get to step out of their daily routine and get another perspective, unload any emotional or mental burdens, commit to success as they define it, and have fun in the process. • What to bring Bring your "A" game • Important to know Contact: Captain John Roloff 856-419-3372 johnr207@gmail.com
