The First Digital Swiss FP&A Board: FP&A of the Future: Adapting to the "New Normal"

The First Digital Swiss FP&A Board is proudly sponsored by:

         Michael Page
Swiss FP&A Board

“The business landscape has changed fundamentally; tomorrow’s environment will be different, but no less rich in possibilities for those who are prepared” (Ian Davis, former MD at McKinsey)

The current business and economic environment are fundamentally different from before. As organisations continue to adapt to the world of "Unknown Unknowns", Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) role has become increasingly more important with FP&A teams adapting quickly and developing their new "playbooks" to prepare for the future.

With the help of modern technology, we will try to make this digital meeting as interactive as possible by incorporating panel discussion, polling questions, Q&A sessions, and a survey. 

More details about the subject, speakers and time are available below.

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. 

Digital Swiss FP&A Board will unite our Swiss FP&A Board chapters from Geneva and Zurich. We are also looking forward to inviting guests from other parts of Switzerland where FP&A Board is not geographically established yet.
