The global business environment was more uncertain than ever, with ongoing political, economic, and social disruptions impacting organisations across industries. For CFOs and FP&A teams, this meant that traditional financial planning processes might no longer have been sufficient to effectively manage risks, optimise resource allocation, and drive business performance. To remain competitive, organisations had to adapt quickly to changing market conditions and make data-driven decisions in real time.

CFOs and FP&A teams had two options to navigate uncertain times: traditional FP&A tools or integrated business planning (IBP). Traditional FP&A typically involved creating separate financial plans, operational plans, and strategic plans, often with little collaboration between departments. In contrast, IBP connected finance, sales, HR, operations, and supply chain, integrating all the data that mattered from across the organisation. This helped eliminate traditional barriers, bridged performance management gaps, and added richer context to the numbers.

The opportunity to learn about the benefits of IBP and how technology could help organisations build greater resilience, agility, and competitiveness in the face of global changes was not to be missed.

The exclusive Jedox and The CFO webinar had invited participants to:

• Listen to finance leaders discussing how technology could help CFOs and FP&A teams build greater resilience and agility in the face of global changes.
• Discuss the differences between traditional FP&A and IBP.
• Share best practices for leveraging technology within their organisations, including strategies for gaining buy-in from key stakeholders and overcoming common challenges.
