The Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Board: From Traditional to Better and Beyond Budgeting
FP&A Tags
Planning and Budgeting
Beyond Budgeting
November 23, 2021

It is commonly agreed that the traditional budgeting process is time-consuming and costly. It rarely focuses on strategy and adds little value. Although traditional budgets have evolved over the years, they hardly meet the challenges of the modern economic and business environment. 

Watch the Digital UK & Ireland FP&A Board recording to find out with the panel of experts whether Beyond Budgeting is the best alternative:

  • Dr Steve Morlidge, Performance management thought leader and author, a London FP&A Board member
  • Ivo de Brouwer, Finance Director - Controlling Methodologies (Worldwide) at Danone, an Amsterdam FP&A Board member
  • Manish Gundecha, FP&A Director, Personal Systems Finance at HP
  • Pras Chatterjee, Senior Director at SAP
  • Olga Rudakova, Finance Professional and Data Skills Trainer; International FP&A Board Ambassador (Discussion Facilitator)

The event was sponsored by SAP.
