The FP&A Trends Webinar: How to Manage Uncertainty with FP&A Predictive Analytics

The webinar is proudly sponsored by:

X-FP&A​

 
For more than a year, businesses have been existing in an environment of extreme uncertainty trying to determine the best path forward. Even in times of unusual volatility, it remains possible to predict future outcomes and base the decision-making process around the scenarios.
 
Predictive Analytics is a very popular concept in the FP&A world. However, there are many questions and misconceptions. Many finance leaders express their concerns about – what they perceive are — the costs, data and system requirements, effectiveness and efficiency of the process. What will it bring to FP&A and the decision-making process? How can we possibly trust machine-made predictions? Are the benefits even worth the disruption?
 
Join this webinar to look at the examples of Predictive Analytics in FP&A and understand how we can implement the process for the benefit of the whole organization. We will cover the following aspects: 

        •    Predictive Analytics Maturity Model
        •    using Predictive Analytics and AI/ML for Digital FP&A
        •    key steps for implementation of Predictive Analytics
 
The FP&A Trends Webinar will be held on 12 May at 4:00 PM CEST. The webinar recording and presentation slides will be available for the registered participants only. If you are not able to join the live meeting, you can review the recording later.
