Open Future Forum | AI Lab Series

Most finance teams have already explored Claude. The harder question is what to deploy systematically across the function: what to roll out, what to leave alone, & how to keep the controls intact.

This is a working session on putting Claude into production inside your finance function. A deployment framework, grounded in real finance workflows, with peer dialogue throughout. Attendees leave with a set of pre-built Claude workflows & skills they can take back to the team.

Host: Murray Newlands, Partner, Tilden Capital Family Office & IASV Seed Ventures Workshop Leader: Yvonne Newlands, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, Trekka. 30+ enterprise transformations at Accenture & EY, supply chain operations at Apple, 50+ AI agents shipped to production at venture-backed AI startups.

What We'll Cover

Where to Start The criteria for picking the first workflow. Why most teams pick wrong, & what a good first deployment actually looks like.
What to Automate, What Stays Human A decision framework for sorting tasks into three buckets. Where AI is ready, where it isn't, & where it's a trap.
Change Management Inside a Finance Team The part most rollouts skip. How to bring controllers & FP&A leads with you, not around them, & what to do when someone digs in.
The Claude Workflows You'll Take Home A small set of pre-built Claude workflows & skills, ready to deploy. Variance commentary, runway scenarios, board-update drafting, & others. The prompts, the patterns, & the guardrails to plug into your team next week.
Who Should Attend

Designed for finance leaders & operators at venture-backed companies. CFOs, VPs of Finance, Heads of Finance, Controllers, FP&A leads, & finance ops. The session emphasizes peer-level dialogue & operator-level honesty about what's working, what isn't, & what's worth your team's time to build.

Whether your team is already running Claude, evaluating it, or hasn't started yet, the session works for the stage you're in.

Why Attend

A deployment framework you can take back to the team next week
Honest answers from an operator who has shipped these systems, not a vendor selling them
A small room of finance operators comparing notes on what's actually working
Format

Small group. 15 to 20 finance team members. Two hours. Deployment framework, pre-built Claude workflows to take home, & a takeaway plan the room builds together.
