For those working in law, finance and accounting, AI's influence is already here, impacting how you work and what clients expect.To stay competitive, firms must balance growth, efficiency, and service innovation with regulatory standards and ethical responsibilities. AI introduces risks that can be challenging for professions grounded in precision and trust, especially as ethical and regulatory frameworks lag in keeping up with technological advancements.

HighlightsDriving Adoption (02:40)At its recent financial earnings call, Microsoft reported dramatic results from its last quarter regarding Dynamics 365 (D365), Business Central (BC), and Finance and Operations (F&O), with 27% growth quarter over quarter. Some core factors are driving this pace of customer adoption in the mid-market and the enterprise. Hedin names three:The number of old platforms that need to be migrated: To access the newest and best features, organizations must be in the cloud — otherwise, they'll be missing out on copilot, for instance.Companies need to save money and be more efficient. Automation enables companies to do more with less.Security is vital in finance, especially for fraud detection and prevention.Hedin reports that SignUp Software had similar growth rates to Microsoft, so it has been able to maintain the same pace.Industry Innovation (05:03)Some vertical industries are quicker with their approach to modernization and digital transformations, especially in managing regulatory compliance and implementing other cybersecurity initiatives. Hedin describes the pace of innovation and modernization among various industries.All industries have invoices. However, the industries accelerating their pace of modernization and implementing advanced solutions are the ones that have the most to gain and with high volumes, notes Hedin. He lists retail and government as two of the top industries here.Partners contribute greatly to this pace. “It's the solution architects and the business process designers that advise the customer on what they can do,” he says. When partners see the capabilities that come with modern offerings, they begin to suggest those offerings.Investing in Modernization and Automation (08:43)The office of the CFO should be keeping an eye out for key aspects and outcomes from their investments to modernize and automate. Efficiency and flexibility are two beneficial elements. “It comes back to process efficiency to have that low cost; you have to control compliance on those processes,” Hedin says.Modern technologies, such as automation and AI, come with a lot of fear and uncertainty as well as assumptions that they will take the jobs of humans. For those involved with the day-to-day operations of a business, that's not necessarily true. Investing in modernization can enhance business processes and enable humans to be redeployed to do other tasks.  The 4 Cs (11:25)Hedin describes four Cs that can come with modern technologies and are essential when working with customers and partners, which SignUp Software puts into practice with its ExFlow offering:CostComplianceControlCopilotsSignUp Software is “heavily entrenched” in its research and development (R&D) department, Hedin says. Customers can improve their return on investment (ROI) by embracing modern technologies, deploying their employees to higher-level tasks, and benefitting from the four Cs. Another factor that Hedin mentions is the standard for CO2 emissions for companies with more than 250 people. SignUp Software offers a product for CO2 management to help companies manage data and have greater control in working toward becoming

In this episode of Decoding Innovation, Ben Hafele, CEO of Lean Startup Co., explores the transformative power of the lean startup methodology in corporate innovation. The lean startup mentality epitomizes innovation and agility by providing a structured approach to developing products and services that truly meet customer demands. It emphasizes the importance of validated learning, rapid prototyping and flexibility in business modeling.  In conversation with host Brent Duersch, Ben Hafele, CEO of Lean Startup Co., discusses how startups and corporate innovation teams alike thrive on navigating uncertainty. Hafele emphasizes that corporate innovation teams inherently embody the startup ethos when engaging with emerging technologies in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI), mobility, wearables and electrification. This mindset is crucial for fostering innovation and maintaining a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. With extensive experience in applying lean startup methodologies across various business landscapes, Hafele offers fresh perspectives on innovation, advocating for practical solutions and a “learner” mindset over a “knower” mindset. He explains how lean startup principles, with a focus on customer feedback and iterative design, enable organizations to continuously test and refine ideas, ensuring investments are made in concepts with genuine market potential. Hafele envisions a future where the lean startup mindset remains essential, its principles guiding companies through the uncertainties of tomorrow's business challenges. Key takeaways:  Lean startup is a mindset, focusing on what customers truly value. It's about systematically vetting and de-risking new ventures, applying the scientific method to business ideas. For corporate innovation to succeed, teams must adopt the startup approach: embracing uncertainty, leveraging customer feedback and iterating rapidly in tech-driven markets. Lean startup principles are set to evolve and stay relevant amid the uncertainties of AI and future technologies.
