In today's challenging economic landscape, smarter strategic financial planning is the key to organisational survival and success. Replacing static budgets with agile rolling forecasts, embracing scenario planning, and leveraging FP&A technology to stay ahead.

This webinar builds on the success of the recent CIMA webinar and demand for this topic. As Capability Lead Workday Adaptive Planning, I had the pleasure of hosting this insightful webinar on “Unlocking the Power of Planning through Technology” and delivering the keynote – this included valuable insights and practical advice on how to improve planning for organisations and covered the following aspects:

  • Understand the vital role of planning agility in the current business landscape
  • Discover best practices for improved planning and strategic decision-making
  • Learn how FP&A technology can drive dramatic improvements in your planning processes

We were also joined by finance leaders at Shell Energy UK and The Doctors Laboratory who outlined how they have embraced technology and strategies to drive significant organisational improvements.
