FP&A Trends Digest: Issue #70

FP&A Trends Digest
Issue #70 - 20 August 2022

Dear colleagues,

“There is no alternative to digital transformation. Visionary companies will carve out new strategic options for themselves — those that don’t adapt, will fail.” — Jeff Bezos, Amazon.

In the modern business environment, best-in-class FP&A is all about agility and adaptability. Moving towards this objective can be achieved by the use of an FP&A Maturity Model as a transformation toolkit.

As you may know, one of the International FP&A Board’s long-running projects has been the development of the FP&A Maturity Model – something we have been working on since 2016.

Today, it is one of the best tools to outline the roadmap for getting to the best-in-class FP&A practice. And it is absolutely free!

In our latest global research paper, we focused on delving deeper into the most mature level - Leading State, by exploring three dimensions of the model: Process, Data & Analytics, and Technology. This digest aims to explore these categories through:

- our research paper itself;

- an article about the essence of driver-based modelling and data lineage concepts;

- a video case study of predictive analytics for planning; and

- an argument for using technology to effect FP&A transformation.

If you would like to hear more about the Maturity Model from those of us who developed it – and I hope, after reading this digest, that you will – then please do register for our September webinar, where we will be exploring the model further.

 

Best regards,
