Listen "The Connector Podcast - FinanceX #16 -Agentic AI, Orchestration, and the Future of Finance"
Episode Synopsis
The hype cycle is over; the results era is here. We unpack how finance moves from shiny demos to measurable outcomes by pairing agentic AI with the enterprise plumbing that actually makes change stick: orchestration, shared standards, and rigorous governance. Along the way, we confront the 93% project failure narrative and show why a simple time filter—necessary, automatable, delegable—cuts through noise and aligns work with true ROI.We walk through real examples that shrink lending cycle times from months to minutes, explain why outcome-based pricing beats per-seat models, and clarify the critical differences between reactive generative tools and proactive, goal-driven agents. Then we zoom out to the architecture that turns outputs into outcomes, from orchestration as the command layer to BIAN’s service domains and business object model that finally give banks a common language. Security and resilience get equal weight as we step into the AI-versus-AI battlefield and map how DORA and the EU AI Act overlap, including provider vs deployer responsibilities and incident reporting that keeps operations and model risk in check.There’s more: the accessibility mandate reshapes what “done” means for digital onboarding and automated flows; wealth tech emerges as the next growth engine with a massive generational transfer on the horizon; and social impact cases show AI driving nonprofit income stability and financial literacy at scale. Through it all, we return to the human edge—professionals who translate automation into trust, navigate ambiguity, and make better decisions with cleaner data and clearer guardrails.If this conversation helps you see where AI creates real value in your stack, support the show: follow, share with a teammate, and leave a quick review with your biggest takeaway.Thank you for tuning into our podcast about global trends in the FinTech industry.Check out our podcast channel.Learn more about The Connector.
