The Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Board: Navigating Uncertainty: How to Stay Ahead of the Game with Scenario Planning and Predictive Planning

The Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Board is proudly sponsored by:

The London FP&A Circle meeting

How can we plan and forecast in an uncertain environment? One of the current challenges for FP&A professionals is that traditional planning methods are no longer sufficient for this turbulent period. This is where FP&A Predictive Planning and Scenario Planning come into play.

These two important FP&A processes represent a truly powerful force for dealing with uncertainty, complexity, and risk. At this meeting, we will look at the key factors that are needed for the successful implementation of Predictive Planning and Scenario Planning.

The Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Board will be held on the 22nd of June 2021 from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM BST.

Join our experienced panel of speakers to learn How to Stay Ahead of the Game with Scenario Planning and Predictive Planning.

What is International FP&A Board?

The International FP&A Board was created in London (UK) in 2013 to guide the development and promotion of the best practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). Since then, the Board chapters have been successfully established in 27 cities and 16 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and North America. They aim to identify and support new global trends, valued skill sets and leadership practices in modern corporate Financial Planning & Analysis. 

The Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Board will unite the members of the London FP&A Board chapter. We would like to extend this invitation to finance practitioners from other parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland where the FP&A Board is not geographically established yet.
