Leading the xP&A revolution – finance’s secret weapon to delivering enterprise value and growth

Introducing the finance-led “on-ramp” to connected and integrated business planning

Disconnected functions, misaligned planning methods, and siloed decision-making create friction and data challenges, putting a business at odds with itself. Nonetheless, today’s finance leaders must deliver value by leading organizational transformation to help solve the pressing needs of the business.

According to the recent Gartner® report, Future of Finance Extends FP&A to Include Operational Planning, “survey respondents overwhelmingly (96%) agreed with Gartner that their organization would adopt a planning strategy integrating or connecting FP&A to one or more operational planning applications by 2024.” This extended planning and analysis (xP&A) business imperative is driving visionary finance leaders to align with their cross-functional peers for visibility into organizational targets, shared ownership of and accountability for plans, and partnership in outcomes.
