Evolution of 'Business Analytics'

By Michael Coveney, Analytics Thought Leader and Author

September 22, 2017

‘Business Analytics’ is often portrayed as the latest miracle cure for managers wanting to improve corporate performance.

Inquisitive FP&A

By Karl Kern, Accountant / Lecturer / Writer

September 22, 2017

One of the more important qualities of FP&A practitioners is curiosity. Curiosity, a strong desire to know or learn something, is affected by the types of questions asked. It is the types of questions that determine how much FP&A practitioners want to know or learn. One type of question is “what.”  The purpose of asking “what” is to acquire information. Acquiring information can be in the form of financial numbers like revenues, expenses, and cash flows. Acquiring information can be in the form of non-financial numbers like the amount of time companies receive or make payments. Acquiring information can be in the form of qualitative data like comments from customers, names of products, or types of services provided. Asking “what” helps FP&A practitioners know about the environments where they work but knowing is not enough. FP&A practitioners need to ask questions that help them learn about the environments where they work.
