The Digital German-Benelux FP&A Circle
The Power of Driver-Based Planning and Forecasting for Modern FP&A

The event is proudly sponsored by:

Planning​

Enhanced Driver-Based Planning and Forecasting within the organisation is an essential part of the roadmap toward modern Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A). 

  • But what is Driver-Based Planning and forecasting at its core? 
  • Why does it matter for FP&A? 
  • How can we successfully implement it? 

Driver-based modelling is an important component for achieving agility and adaptability. It helps us to bring key business drivers that impact business evolution the most and allows on-demand planning and forecasting.

With this in mind, our next digital circle will focus on the Power of Driver-Based Planning and Forecasting.

Join the Digital German-Benelux FP&A Circle on December 13 at 1:00 PM CET to hear answers to the above questions from senior finance practitioners and thought leaders.

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