AI reshapes talent deployment in finance

The financial industry is experiencing a modern revival of 'secondments,' a practice traditionally seen in law firms. However, the current trend is driven by artificial intelligence, with firms embedding their own employees into client-side roles, particularly within CFO offices. This strategic deployment of talent is a departure from the past, where junior associates were temporarily assigned to clients. The integration of AI is redefining the purpose and execution of these assignments, suggesting a future where technology influences talent strategy and client relationships in finance.
