On the 6th of October, I had the pleasure of hosting the Second Digital Pan-Asian FP&A Board. We had six insightful presentations that are summarized in this article.
What are the skills needed for a successful career in FP&A? The business environment is changing fast, and we need to keep up with this pace.
In FP&A there are plenty of tools, technologies and fancy options at your disposal. However, these eye-catching technologies won’t take your team to the next level without 3 key people processes that your team should be leveraging.
How can FP&A enable a quick, integrated and multidimensional scenario planning process? What are the building blocks for an effective FP&A team? Where does the journey towards leading analytical stage begin?
The First Digital European (Germany and Benelux) FP&A Board discussed FP&A Digital Transformation: Moving from Traditional to Leading Stage. The speakers talked about FP&A transformation, driver-based planning, predictive and prescriptive analytics and the use of modern technology. During this digital event, we also discussed what skills are now required from FP&A professionals in the digital era.
The first ever digital European FP&A Board meeting took place on September 24, 2020. Even though it was different than the face-to-face meetings, the interest and participation only seemed to have grown.
