Function Reinvention in the Age of AI | Global Human Capital Trends 2026 | Deloitte Insights
The Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends 2026 video examines how corporate functions—finance, HR, IT—must reinvent themselves in the era of generative and agentic AI. While more than half of surveyed executives report tighter cross‑functional collaboration, they also flag a pressing need to overhaul capabilities and mission. The discussion highlights AI’s ability to democratize data, turning finance from a traditional steward into a rapid‑response business partner. AI tools can compress a two‑week, 20‑person reporting process into a ten‑second, automated output, enabling real‑time insights that drive operational efficiency and strategic decision‑making. A key illustration is the CFO’s evolving role: "The CFO is moving much more to being a strategic partner, informing strategy…providing insight on a real‑time basis." This shift demands a hybrid skill set that blends classic finance expertise with analytics, data‑science, and AI fluency. For organizations, the implication is clear—function leaders must reskill teams, redesign processes, and embed AI‑enabled analytics to stay competitive. Finance’s transformation into a strategic advisor will reshape leadership conversations and elevate the overall agility of the enterprise.
