The FP&A Trends Webinar: A New Age of Zero-Based Budgeting
FP&A Tags
Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB)
October 10, 2023

The webinar was proudly sponsored by:

                                                                                   

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the traditional budgeting process is becoming increasingly obsolete. However, what if your organization is not yet prepared to fully abandon it?

Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB) offers a fresh perspective on routine budgeting procedures and proves to be a valuable exercise for your entire FP&A team. It provides insights into key business drivers, fosters a culture of collaboration and value creation, and supports agile FP&A practices. Additionally, ZBB principles can be extended to the broader FP&A process, known as Zero-Based FP&A.

The webinar took place on October 10th and senior finance practitioners shared the latest trends and advancements in successful ZBB implementation. ​

The Panel:

  • Brad Farrow, Commercial Finance Director at Mondelez, Toronto FP&A Board member
  • Enrique Rodriguez, Finance Director - Headquarters & Procurement at Walgreens Boots Alliance
  • Gregory Volpe, Product Marketing Director at Workday
  • Olga Rudakova, Finance Professional and International FP&A Board Ambassador (Discussion Facilitator)
