The Digital North American FP&A Board: Empowering FP&A to Bridge the Strategy Gap Once and for All

The Digital North American FP&A Board is proudly sponsored by:

Strategy​

For many organisations, the Strategy Gap is a major obstacle, preventing them from truly maximizing their Strategic Planning efforts and sustainably creating value.

Closing the Strategy Gap means setting meaningful and achievable targets. So why do companies fail to do this? And how can FP&A help?

Join the Digital North American FP&A Board on March 8 at 11:00 AM PST to find out the answers to these questions. Our panel of experienced professionals will provide actionable insights on Empowering FP&A to Bridge the Strategy Gap Once and for All. 

A recording of the event will be shared afterwards with everyone who registers.

What is International FP&A Board?
