In many organizations, financial models have become bloated, outdated, or disconnected from decision-making. This session challenges the “more data = better forecast” mindset and offers a roadmap for building flexible, purpose-driven planning tools that serve the business. You’ll learn how to define the minimum effective model (MEM) for your company’s size and needs, align FP&A processes with operational priorities, and embed forecasting into faster, more agile decision cycles. Whether you’re working with startups, mid-size firms, or cross-functional teams, this session helps you simplify and amplify the role of FP&A in business performance.
