FP&A Transformation has been taking place for some time, with teams moving from the Traditional FP&A Model to the extended FP&A (xP&A) Model. This represents a move from scheduled to on-demand planning, from one scenario to multiple scenarios and from finance to entire company planning.

FP&A professionals need to be motivated and motivate others to trust and to make strategic decisions based on insights from the team. If trust is not yet established between you and your business partner, find the trigger that will make them believe in your analysis and the numbers behind them. 

A recent FP&A Trends Webinar focused on how to master rolling forecasts and how they can revamp the way an organisation works. This article summarises this insightful meeting, interactive polling questions and compelling discussions.

FP&A is no longer just a reactive part of an organisation. It has now become a very proactive partner in the business planning process. The modern FP&A is responsible for running multiple scenarios to equip the business decision-makers with a rich data set.

On March 25, 2021, about 550 FP&A practitioners from 70 countries around the globe gathered to discuss FP&A Role in Capital Planning: Getting Beyond the Traditional.

In any technological transformation adventure, start with the data and start small.  Good clean data, standardised across your organisation always leads to better outcomes.  Start small but ensure you can scale up quickly. This ensures you learn and fail early before you go big.
