The traditional budgeting process is time-consuming and costly, neglecting strategy and adding little value. Despite evolving over the years, traditional budgets hardly meet the challenges of the modern economic and business environment.

Those who follow developments in FP&A closely have proclaimed a New Age of Zero-Based Budgeting. So what exactly does this mean? What do organisations find so appealing about this alternative to traditional budgeting, and how can we best implement it?

The fourth meeting of the Boston FP&A Board was held on March 26, 2019. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Integrated FP&A.

Any change should be carefully managed, but this is no easy task: research shows that only 30% of change programs are successful. So what if we could create a framework to help FP&A navigate a complex change?

For many organisations, the Strategy Gap is a major obstacle, preventing them from truly maximizing their Strategic Planning efforts and sustainably creating value.

Join the face-to-face Toronto FP&A Board on October 17th to discuss and learn the FP&A Storytelling best practices.

We decided to devote one of our digital circles to the subject of the Power of Driver-Based Planning and Forecasting and how organisations should implement it.

FP&A Storytelling has been one of the biggest trends in FP&A over the last few years as executives and C-level leaders want to know how their company is performing, what segments are performing well or not so well, and why so.

Is planning a routine annual exercise or a flexible and dynamic FP&A process that drives value and supports decision-making under uncertainty? How to achieve the latter?
