FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #68

FP&A Trends Digest
Issue #68 - 23 July 2022

Dear colleagues,

As many of you may already know, 2022 has been an exciting year for us at FP&A Trends Group so far: we have restarted our face-to-face International FP&A Board meetings, continuing our mission of learning the latest trends in Financial Planning & Analysis through discussion and collaboration.

Altogether we had 12 face-to-face meetings: in four cities in Europe and eight cities in North America, where we deep-dived into case studies and practical experience on the key FP&A lessons learned from the pandemic.

These lessons can be grouped as follows:

• Scenario Management mindset – a must in this environment;

• Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A) – how we implement this mindset;

• Critical FP&A Team Roles are changing;

• Predictive Analytics/AI/ML – vital for FP&A transformation.

That is why in this digest, we decided to collect content that best addresses these four themes. Below, you will find an eBook discussing xP&A; an article on upgrading your FP&A team; a case study of Predictive Analytics for planning; and a video delving further into Scenario Management.

As Garrison Wynn has said, “Action and adaptability create opportunity.” The pandemic has been a dramatic blow for us all, but it has also been a chance to grow and learn — as I hope that this digest demonstrates.

 

Best regards,

 

Larysa Melnychuk

Maximising the Value of FP&A through xP&A

In this environment, improving the agility of planning processes is — and should be — a top priority for many organisations. One of the best tools for achieving agility is xP&A, an approach that looks beyond just finance data. In this eBook, you will learn all about the solutions xP&A offers to the problems posed by traditional planning methods.

Upgrading Your FP&A Team: Areas to Consider

By James Halley

If we can all agree that COVID-19 has been a cloud hanging over the last two years, one of the silver linings for FP&A is that the pandemic has forced teams to adapt and evolve — and even become more effective. Organisations all over the world have upgraded their FP&A teams, and this article from the VP Finance & European CFO at Nidec reveals how you can do the same.

Using Predictive Analytics for Planning and Strategy: SBB Cargo – Case Study

By Stefan Spiegel

By now, we are all aware of the drawbacks of antiquated approaches to budgeting and planning. Thankfully, developments in the field of AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) are opening up completely new possibilities. So how can we use Predictive Analytics to transform planning processes? And how does this work in practice? Read this case study from the CFO at SBB Cargo AG to find out.

Video: Connected FP&A and Agile Scenario Management

By Alex Beired

Scenario management offers solutions to many of the disadvantages of traditional planning practices. It allows organisations to assess what lies beyond the ‘span of predictability’ and account for multiple possible futures. But how do we make sure scenario management doesn't become just another time-consuming FP&A activity? In this video, the Director Corporate FP&A at Owens Corning shares his answers.
