Increasingly important in driving organisational strategies, FP&A is being described variously as the Connector, the Wise Man, the Conductor, the Therapist, and the Digital X-ray Machine. It is obvious that FP&A leaders are demonstrating new and diverse skills as they become the business leaders of the future.
