Treasury transformation succeeds or fails on trust, not technology

The organizations getting real value from AI aren’t the ones who moved fastest. They’re the ones who did the harder work first.

ABOUT THIS FEATURE

Treasury modernization promises real-time visibility into cash, liquidity, and risk, but faster data doesn’t automatically mean better decisions. In this piece for Global Banking & Finance Review, Tony Schweiss and Ande Olson argue that the organizations getting real value from treasury transformation are the ones treating accountability and trust as design requirements, not afterthoughts. They walk through what happens when nobody has clearly answered who owns a decision once automation starts making the calls.
