​

Organisational agility often faces a considerable barrier: unaligned top-down and bottom-up planning processes. It happens when financial, operational and strategic planning processes are not harmonised. When we experience this problem, we always wonder: 

  • How can we bridge this planning gap?
  • How can we harmonise all essential planning processes by going beyond finance to Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A)?

The answer may be Integrated FP&A. A crucial framework for planning in the world of unknown unknowns, Integrated FP&A helps organisations to close the gap between unaligned vertical and horizontal planning processes.

Join us for the webinar on October 19 to learn more about FP&A Integration: the winning formula of harmonising top-down and bottom-up planning processes from senior practitioners and thought leaders.

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