Founders Bay Virtual Workshop: 9 in 10 organizations can't tell their AI ROI. Can you?
Enterprise AI spend is projected to hit $4.6T by 2028, yet 86% of CFOs still can't quantify what any of it returns, and fewer than 20% of firms connect AI cost to a business outcome. Spend is tracked one time. Outcomes are tracked. The two rarely meet. Tech budget holders are the ones being asked to close that gap.
In this 45-minute session, we'll walk through the operating model we see working inside Fortune 500 AI programs: how to measure whether a given AI workflow is actually returning value, and how to cut the cost of the ones that aren't.
You'll leave with:
A working definition of AI ROI your CFO will accept: revenue lifted, capacity freed, hard dollars saved, held against full vendor and infra cost per workflow
Cost-optimization levers most teams miss, including vendor waste, utilization gaps, model-tier mismatches, and renewal timing
A reporting cadence that turns "we're investing in AI" into one number the board can act on
Who should attend: CIOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, Heads of AI, FP&A partners to technology, and anyone accountable for an AI budget line in 2026.
Hosted by botanu, the AI ROI intelligence platform for the enterprise.
