Staying abreast of all the developments in FP&A can be challenging. So, in this issue we have collected content spanning a range of hot topics in the field, amounting to a panorama of modern FP&A. There are articles on Diversity and Inclusion, the path to an FP&A career, and optimising digitalisation. There is also a short video exploring the relationship between FP&A and new technology.

In this issue, we have collected articles that explore the ZBB concept, its benefits and challenges; an in-depth guide to implementing this process. You will also find a short video with an insightful case study of ZBB delivered by Capita Portfolio FD.

The modern FP&A role is evolving rapidly. We are moving from a traditional management accounting role to something much more multidisciplinary, with many new skills and knowledge required. This means that building a synergistic team is essential.

The highlight of this issue are three insightful case studies, which provide practical examples of successful team building at leading organisations. There is also an article from myself about the increasingly multidisciplinary nature of FP&A roles.

In this digest, you will find a guide to effective FP&A Storytelling, an article on dashboards, and an exploration of the psychology behind data visualisation.
