O TYM ODCINKU
Cash forecasting has transformed dramatically as treasury has moved from manual processes and spreadsheets to automation, APIs and AI.
But for Kim Kelly-Lippert, accurate forecasting still depends on something technology cannot replace: business understanding, strong relationships and human judgement.

The conversation explores the transition from technical treasury expertise into leadership, developing high-performing teams, mentoring future treasury professionals and building valuable internal and external relationships.
