AI in Fusion – have you started?

Feeling overwhelmed by how fast Oracle Fusion—and now AI—keeps evolving? In this webinar, Debra Lilley, ACE Director, cuts through the noise to highlight the key AI innovations you may have missed across recent updates and explain what they actually mean for your business. You’ll also walk away with a practical framework for building an AI strategy that goes beyond testing and helps you drive real value from continuous innovation. Don’t miss this free event March 10, at 11 am ET. Save your seat now!


The Space Between Confidence and Clarity

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about helping others regain clarity when uncertainty disrupts the plan. In this thoughtful reflection, we explore the tension between confidence and clarity, why movement isn’t the same as progress, and how emerging leaders grow by stepping into ambiguity instead of waiting for direction. If you’re navigating complexity in your work, this is a perspective worth reading. And don’t miss your chance to learn more about the Emerging Leaders Program, where in-depth discussions, networking, and leadership growth make business insights second nature. Join us for our next info session (no obligation!) on March 11 at 2 pm ET.

Volunteer Spotlight

Our community is powered by volunteers who are generous with their time, experience, and perspective. In this month’s Volunteer Spotlight, we’re excited to introduce one of the leaders helping shape meaningful conversations across the Quest community, Jeff So, who has stepped into the role of Community SIG group leader for the Quest EPM Community!

Hi, I’m Jeff So, CPA, Director, Finance Technology Strategy at Voya Financial. With 28 years of experience across accounting, financial reporting, and now financial systems, I’ve had the privilege of seeing EPM challenges from both the business and technology sides. That blend of perspectives is what drew me to SIG leadership, and I’m excited to support a community built on collaboration and shared insights. Stepping into the SIG Leader role for the Quest EPM community felt like a meaningful opportunity to give back and help strengthen a network that has already supported me in many ways. Being part of the Quest community has shown me how powerful it is when professionals come together to share real experiences, solve challenges, and uplift one another. I’m excited to help create more spaces for connection, learning, and practical knowledge‑sharing as our group continues to grow. For anyone considering getting involved, I’d encourage you to jump in—your perspective can make a real impact, and you’ll gain far more from the community than you expect.

Join Jeff, Quest, and other community members during the next EPM Community Meetup, May 19 at 3pm ET, or join us in Dallas at BLUEPRINT 4D to meet Jeff in person!

New year, growing community!

Ms. “All Things Cloud at Quest” Alexis is expanding our Cloud Communities and looking for a few friendly faces to help run some Cloud meetups this year! Volunteering within the Quest Community is a small lift — we’re just looking for assistance in guiding conversations, topics, and community networking.

If lending a hand (and having a little fun along the way) is something you’ve been considering, Alexis would LOVE to hear from you! Reach out to her at alexis.brooks@questoraclecommunity.org to learn more.

We promise, no heavy time commitment—just a great way to connect, contribute, and give back to the community!
