FP&A Board Connect N1: "Using Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning for FP&A at Microsoft"


At these difficult and uncertain times of global Black Swans and Perfect Storms, the demand for modern FP&A will be higher than ever before. Keeping this in mind the  International FP&A Board has decided to start sharing its insights and case studies. We have gathered these over the last 4 years,  from more than 200 Boards in 27 cities and 16 countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia, and North America. 

We are launching a new series of online events called "FP&A Board Connect" where our speakers from all over the world will share with you their insightful case studies.

The first FP&A Board Connect is dedicated to the topic "Using Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning for FP&A".  We will examine a strong case study from Microsoft presented by Takeshi Murakami, Business Manager to CEO/President at Microsoft Japan, a speaker of the second Tokyo FP&A Board.

The online event will last for about 30 minutes, it is complimentary and vendor-agnostic.
