Aon accelerates AI strategy and builds a 40-use-case roadmap in two days 

A fragmented AI vision gains direction 

Aon’s leaders wanted a unified strategy to guide AI investment. More than 50 potential use cases existed across Technology, Employee, and Customer Experience domains. Teams needed a clear framework to determine which workflows were ready for AI, how to evaluate out-of-the-box capabilities against custom builds, and how to create alignment across functions. 

A two-day accelerator for clarity and alignment 

The two-day workshop convened more than 55 participants from across the enterprise. Facilitators guided cross-functional sessions built around structured evaluation, rapid prioritization, and ServiceNow-specific feasibility analysis. 

Day 1: Chart opportunity and surface AI-ready workflows 

Participants explored AI trends, assessed platform capabilities, and mapped pain points across major experience domains. Teams identified processes that could benefit from intelligence embedded directly into ServiceNow workflows. 

Day 2: Shape an execution-ready AI roadmap 

Each idea went through value and feasibility scoring. Facilitators helped teams determine the best approach for each use case and shaped a roadmap that balanced quick wins with longer-horizon, strategic opportunities. 

A prioritized enterprise AI roadmap in 48 hours 

Aon gained a clear, actionable strategy within 48 hours. 

  • 40+ AI use cases documented and prioritized 
  • A roadmap aligned across Technology, Employee, and Customer Experience 
  • Executive consensus on AI investment direction 
  • Defined quick-win pilots ready for immediate testing 
  • Clarity on out-of-the-box vs. custom build decisions 

This structure accelerated momentum and equipped Aon with a repeatable way to scale AI adoption across the enterprise. 

Enterprise momentum amplified 

Aon compressed months of internal debate into a focused, collaborative process. Leaders walked away with a roadmap grounded in business value, technical feasibility, and cross-functional alignment. This foundation now guides ongoing AI initiatives and positions Aon to advance intelligent workflows on the ServiceNow platform with confidence. 

A roadmap that accelerates intelligent operations 

Aon’s experience demonstrates how the AI Strategy & Transformation Workshop drives rapid clarity, alignment, and measurable progress. With a structured approach, enterprises gain the momentum needed to rewire workflows, scale intelligence, and accelerate the shift toward AI-ready operations.

TBM Conference 2025: Strategy, spend, and execution, rewired for impact 

Miami, Florida | November 10–12, 2025 

The 2025 TBM Conference brought together leaders who are reshaping how enterprises manage technology, optimize investment decisions, and accelerate value. Over three days, we engaged in deep conversations about connecting strategy, spend, and execution into a single system that drives measurable business outcomes.

Our team hosted sessions across TBM, cost optimization, AI-driven decisioning, and modern operating models. We explored how CIOs, CFOs, and transformation leaders are aligning financial governance, portfolio management, and architecture to move beyond incremental improvements and build connected, high-velocity enterprises.


What we explored at TBMC 2025 

The evolution of TBM inside a modern operating model — Sessions focused on how TBM now anchors the economic intelligence layer of the Enterprise Operating Model, enabling real-time visibility, smarter trade-offs, and funding that adapts as priorities shift. 

AI’s role in accelerating financial and operational performance — Leaders discussed how AI enhances forecasting, strengthens investment decisions, and reduces the lag between planning and execution. The message was clear: AI-powered financial operations set the pace for enterprise agility.

Closing the orchestration gaps that stall transformation — Breakout discussions highlighted the friction points that slow value flow—siloed portfolios, outdated funding cycles, architectural constraints—and how connected TBM practices help enterprises scale impact faster.

Real stories from enterprise practitioners — Our sessions covered practical examples of how organizations modernized financial governance, improved cross-functional alignment, and strengthened ROI visibility while advancing their operating model maturity.
