What strategy needs from FP&A and why it's still missing
FP&A capabilities have advanced significantly—but when critical strategic decisions are made, finance is often not the first call. Why? Drawing on experience across FP&A, management consulting, corporate strategy, and enterprise transformation, this session explores the persistent gap between what strategy teams need and what FP&A delivers. Moving beyond familiar calls for "better partnering," it examines how decision speed, business context, and the rise of AI-driven decision tools are reshaping expectations from FP&A. The session will outline what leading organizations are doing differently to bring finance closer to the heart of decision-making—and what FP&A teams need to do differently, starting now.
