The FP&A Trends Webinar: Planning for Uncertainty: The Building Blocks of Agile FP&A

The webinar is proudly sponsored by:

Planning for Uncertainty​

As was famously proclaimed by Pericles, the powerful politician of ancient Greece: "The key is not to predict the future but to be prepared for it".

At times like this, agile FP&A can help to move through uncertainty and come up with the plan of action. At this webinar, we will look at the importance of agility in FP&A to better manage uncertainty. To improve the decision-making process, FP&A needs to transform. Several actions should be taken.

Join us for the FP&A Trends Webinar on February 23 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM PST to learn more about Planning for Uncertainty: The Building Blocks of Agile FP&A from our experienced, international panel of experts. If the timing is not right, you can listen to the recording later as it will be available to all registrants afterwards.
