Latest Trends in FEI
We had a fantastic turnout for last Friday’s Virtual Financial Officers Forum, especially during such a busy summer season. We know this time of year is packed with competing priorities, and we truly appreciate everyone who took the time to join us and be part of the conversation.
It was an engaging discussion, with thoughtful perspectives shared around the table and meaningful peer-to-peer exchange throughout. The FOF continues to be a valuable space to connect, compare approaches, and learn from one another in real time.
We’re excited to share that the next FOF will take place on September 25th. Held quarterly, these sessions are a great opportunity to stay engaged. Be sure not to miss the next one.
Financial Officers Forum (FOF) will be held virtually on Friday, July 24th, from 12:00 pm - 1:15 pm Pacific.

From Intent to Model: How AI Agents Redefine the Rules of S&OP
Join our Silver Partners at Pigment for a 30-minute webinar to see how AI Agents can transform supply chain planning—helping your team adapt faster, model smarter, and make better decisions in real time.
Supply chain teams need planning models that adapt as fast as the business. Demand shifts, supplier disruptions, inventory imbalances, and capacity constraints all require models that can change continuously. Yet, building and evolving these models is still slow, complex, and dependent on scarce expertise.
Pigment’s Modeler Agent changes that. By leveraging generative AI, teams can transition from rigid planning to true decision intelligence—building, extending, and explaining supply chain applications in minutes.
From Intent to Model: How AI Agents Redefine the Rules of S&OP will be held virtually on Tuesday, August 18th, at 9:00 am - 9:30 am Pacific.
