What you'll learn

How to build a "good enough" ROI estimate for AI projects

Focus on the 3-4 key assumptions that drive your case. Learn when perfection kills momentum and consensus builds buy-in.

Translate operational metrics into financial impact

Map how AI improves operations to what CFOs care about. Learn the questions that bridge metrics to financial impact.

Identify and align the stakeholders that make ROI stick

Know who needs to buy in at each stage. Learn how to involve them early so your ROI estimate actually sticks.

Why this topic matters

Gone are the days when data teams could get budget for new hires or projects without a compelling business case. If you want to get buy-in from your leadership & business, you need to estimate the ROI of your work upfront. Not only does this help prove your value to the org; it's also an essential tool for making sure you're working on the right things instead of AI for the sake of AI.
