Global Webinar​


Our business environment will not be the same after the pandemic. The same is true for the traditional FP&A. The pandemic helped us to understand that no matter how much we plan, the world will not go according to our expectations. FP&A in the “New Normal” is all about agility and resiliency.

The power of Connected and Collaborative Planning cannot be underestimated at this time of great uncertainty. This transformative process dynamically connects data, people and plans, enhancing the decision making process. 

The FP&A Trends Webinar will be held online on October 22 from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM BST and will explore the essential elements of Connected and Collaborative FP&A. Join the webinar to hear from the senior international panel of experts about the following:

  • Connected and Collaborative Planning: key concepts and definitions
  • Steps for implementation: connecting data, analytics, key business drivers, processes
  • Top 5 success factors to achieve greater Collaborative Planning
