Why CFOs Prefer Fast AI Pilots

From Concept to Prototype – in 10 Days

Many AI projects fail – not due to tech, but lack of clarity. The Use Case Sprint turns abstract ideas into working prototypes, fast.

“If an idea can’t be tested in 10 days, it’s not a project – it’s a risk.” – Julia Becker

The Sprint Advantage for Finance Leaders

  • Focus: 3 specific processes instead of 30 vague options
  • Speed: First results in 5–10 days
  • Clarity: Tangible outcomes, not just slide decks

CFO Case Example

A company tests three ideas in a sprint:

  1. Automated invoice checking
  2. Sorting customer inquiries with AI
  3. Auto-generating sales documents

Result:
Prototype 1 saves 80% of time and gets greenlit. Others are postponed.

Conclusion

Use Case Sprints help CFOs make smarter decisions:

  • What delivers ROI?
  • What’s testable now?
  • What’s just talk?

With sprints, AI budgets are directed – and finance leaders stay in control.
