What is the “insight lag” that finance teams struggle with?
Insight lag occurs when there’s a delay between:
- An event occurring
- Finance detecting it
- Leadership understanding it
- The organisation responding
This gap is costly — especially in periods of rapid change.
How does AI eliminate insight lag?
AI transforms reporting from historical to predictive by enabling:
- Automated anomaly detection
- Proactive alerts
- Predictive performance models
- Risk identification
- Recommended actions based on patterns
With real-time data streams, insights become continuous rather than monthly.

How is the finance mindset shifting in 2026?
