MINNEAPOLIS, MN, UNITED STATES, April 28, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Another powerful Finance Development & Training Institute (FDTI) Alliance Workshop in the books — this time hosted by General Mills at their Minneapolis headquarters.— Lynn Hamer, General Mills
FDTI member companies explored how AI is reshaping finance talent development—and what it takes to build CFO-ready leaders in an era of rapid technological change.
Finance talent leaders from leading global organizations spent two days tackling one of the most pressing questions facing CFO organizations today: how do you develop the next generation of finance leaders when AI is changing the nature of the work itself? Sessions examined how member companies are building AI fluency across their finance teams, what it takes to accelerate readiness for critical roles, how to build and sustain cohesive global finance teams in flattening organizations, and how to develop leaders who can make confident, high-stakes decisions. The conversations were forward-thinking, candid, and deeply collaborative — exactly what FDTI stands for.
The event was held on April 14-15, 2026, at General Mills headquarters. The workshop, organized by the FDTI Alliance, was attended by member companies The Coca-Cola Company, Dell Technologies, Dow, Ecolab, GE Aerospace, General Mills, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Land O'Lakes, Inc., and Verizon
Additionally, 3M, Netflix, and UnitedHealth Group attended as distinguished guests, enriching the peer exchange that defines every FDTI event.
The FDTI workshop exists to provide finance and finance talent leaders with a trusted space to tackle shared challenges, exchange what is and isn't working, and build relationships that make collaboration possible long after the workshop ends. Our next workshop will be hosted by Land O'Lakes at their headquarters in Arden Hills, MN, on November 3-4, 2026.
