AI, finans og narrativet vi må utfordre.
AI endrer finans, men ikke slik mange overskrifter antyder. I denne utgaven av KOKAI Insights utfordrer CEO og gründer Oskar Kristiansen det rådende narrativet og forklarer hvorfor AI handler om et skifte i hvordan vi jobber, ikke en erstatning av mennesker. Et perspektiv på FP&A, kompetanse og fremtidens verdiskaping.
AI, finance and the narrative we need to challenge.
AI is changing finance, but not in the way many headlines suggest. In this KOKAI Insights article, CEO Oskar Kristiansen challenges the current narrative and explains why AI is driving a shift in how finance teams work, not replacing them. A perspective on FP&A, expertise, and the future of value creation.
When AI Meets Planning. Why the Future of FP&A Will Happen Inside Power BI.
Many organisations rely on Power BI for analytics but still manage planning and forecasting in disconnected spreadsheets. As AI and integrated planning tools evolve, a new approach is emerging where budgeting, forecasting, and decision-making happen directly inside the BI environment. This shift transforms FP&A from static reporting to dynamic, data-driven planning.

Are semantic models about to become the most important AI asset in your organisation?
Are semantic models about to become your organisation’s most valuable AI asset?
At Fabric February in Oslo, one message became clear. AI in Power BI is moving beyond chat experiences and into the core of the semantic layer. With emerging MCP capabilities, AI agents can now understand model structures, generate and validate DAX, and operate within governed security frameworks.
This is not just a feature update. It is a strategic shift.
The real opportunity lies in building AI-ready semantic models that turn architecture, governance and model quality into competitive advantage.
The world is changing fast.
The world is changing fast.
Working life is undergoing a major transformation. And it is happening quickly.
The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 points clearly to one thing:
Data, analytics, technology and financial understanding are no longer nice to have. They are absolutely essential.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗱𝗮𝘆. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲. 💚
Fabric February 2026 absolutely delivered. KOKAI was proud to be a Fabric February Fantastic Friend, and we did not come quietly. We had people front and center on the ground floor by the KOKAI stand, and others sprinting between auditoriums trying to absorb as much Fabric knowledge as humanly possible. Mission very much accomplished.
Project Planning and Reporting in Aimplan
How finance and project teams gain control inside Power BI
Projects are where strategy meets reality. Yet many organisations still manage project planning, forecasting, and reporting across disconnected tools and spreadsheets. Budgets live in one file, forecasts in another, and project status reports are assembled manually at the last minute.
Rolling Forecasts and Variance Analysis in Aimplan.
Traditional budgeting is struggling to keep up with today’s pace of change. Annual budgets become outdated quickly, forecasts require heavy manual effort, and variance analysis often explains the past rather than guiding future decisions.
