The FP&A Trends Webinar: Leveraging Predictive Planning and Forecasting within xP&A
FP&A Tags
FP&A Predictive Analytics

Extended Planning & Analysis (xP&A)
March 28, 2023

The webinar was proudly sponsored by Wolters Kluwer and
its award-winning CCH® Tagetik expert solution for Corporate Performance Management:

Predictive technology is viewed as being a vital management tool for making sense of past performance and for providing guidance into the future.  

However, there are still many questions and misconceptions. Many finance leaders express their concerns about – what they perceive are — the costs, data and system requirements, effectiveness and efficiency of the process.

  • What will predictive technology bring to FP&A and the decision-making process?
  • How can we possibly trust machine-made predictions?
  • Are the benefits even worth the disruption?
  • How can predictive analytics help to harmonise strategic, financial and operational plans?

At the FP&A Trends webinar on March 28th, we discovered at how predictive technology can be used to make planning a faster, more accurate and agile process, that spans the entire organisation.
