AI technologies are reshaping FP&A with better forecasting, automation, and data accuracy — but trust and adoption remain key challenges.

The 13th New York FP&A Board convened on March 11, 2025, to explore the evolving synergy between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and human expertise in financial planning and analysis (FP&A). 

This edition focuses on how FP&A Scenario Management illuminates the path forward. We delve into the latest research on scenario management, share best practices for timely and effective scenario planning and highlight expert insights on how organisations are successfully applying these strategies.

In this video, Milind Karnik, Head of FP&A at Citizens, shares how Scenario Planning builds resilience through events like COVID-19, the Great Recession, and interest rate shocks. He also makes a compelling case for planning not just for risks but also for unexpected successes.

Confusing forecasting with target setting derails accountability and performance — FP&A must treat them as distinct but interdependent disciplines to drive business success.

Check out the recording of the FP&A Trends webinar that was held on March 26th to explore the Four Layers of Modern FP&A Transformation.

A strong data strategy is crucial for FP&A teams to ensure accurate, timely and meaningful insights, enabling better decision-making and strategic alignment.

In an uncertain world, agility is essential—and a well-structured FP&A ecosystem is the foundation for effective scenario management and therefore agility.  Watch the recording of the Digital Nordic, Benelux & UKI FP&A Circle to explore how FP&A teams can enhance their practices by integrating key elements—people, culture, data, models, processes, technology, and analytics—to build an agile FP&A ecosystem for scenario management.
