Dive in to highlights from [Sameer Gulati](/company/leadership/sameer-gulati-ceo-ordway/)’s presentation at the recent [FiNext conference](https://finextcon.com). As Founder and CEO of Ordway, he shared his thoughts on the emerging performance economy and how smart automation can unleash company growth.

## What is the performance economy?

The performance economy is defined by customers who don’t want to pay retainers, don’t want to pay for un-targeted ads, and aren’t willing to take your word that the job is done. This new performance economy will be underpinned by the machine learning, AI, and automation that are transforming our societies. Businesses will monetize their technology with [usage-based pricing strategies](/resources/guides/usage-based-pricing-guide).

Ultimately, these new technologies are “manufacturing time,” and are allowing professionals more freedom to focus on higher-order, value-creating activities.
