YOU'RE INVITED
From Spend to Strategy: Building an AI Cost Governance Framework That Holds Up in the Boardroom
As AI spending grows, leaders are being asked not only what they spent, but what they achieved. Join this session to learn how to build a governance framework that connects Microsoft Copilot and Foundry investments to accountability, value, and measurable outcomes.
About this webinar
Once finance starts asking where the AI budget went, "it's complicated" isn't an answer that lands well in the boardroom. More organizations are charging AI costs back to the business units that drive them, which means the leaders who couldn't explain their spend in Part 1 are now the ones expected to defend it line by line.
Join Quisitive's Steven Balusek and Michael Quill for a practical session on how to get ahead of that conversation. They'll walk through how to attribute Copilot and Foundry costs back to the teams and use cases actually generating them, how to put cost guardrails in place before a new agent or workload launches instead of after the invoice arrives, and how to shift the conversation from "what did we spend" to "what did it deliver."
You'll leave with a framework you can bring into your next budget review, not a theoretical model, something built around how Microsoft actually licenses and bills AI today.
What You'll Learn
In this session, Quisitive experts Michael Quill and Steven Balusek will explore:
How leading organizations are assigning AI costs back to the business units, teams, and use cases that generate them
