Agenda Day 1

2:00 PM THINK TANK D: From FP&A to xP&A: Is This the Next Stage in Financial Transformation?

Economic uncertainty, regulatory change, and ongoing market disruption are placing increasing pressure on finance functions to deliver more accurate, and forward-looking insight. Yet many teams remain constrained by legacy FP&A processes including manual workflows, fragmented data models, and static planning cycles that are no longer suited to a more volatile European environment.

This session will explore whether the shift from traditional FP&A to xP&A represents a meaningful next step in finance transformation. The discussion will consider how planning is evolving beyond a finance-centric activity toward a more integrated, enterprise-wide capability. By connecting data and assumptions across finance, sales, operations, and HR, xP&A aims to create a more aligned planning framework that supports cross-functional decision-making.

This session will provide a practical, balanced perspective on the opportunities and challenges of adopting xP&A, helping finance leaders evaluate its relevance and potential impact within their own organisations.

Key discussion points include the following benefits of xP&A:

Reducing data silos across the organisation
Enabling proactive, forward-looking decisions
Streamlining enterprise-wide planning processes
