xP&A Advisory Services

Deciding to improve your internal planning, forecasting and analysis processes is easy. Better insights, increased forecast accuracy, cross-functional consensus and planning agility are desirable outcomes for every business. Extended Planning & Analysis (xP&A) represents an ideal future state in which planning is integrated, comprehensive and continuous.

Achieving your xP&A goals depends on a range of factors including business process factors, “people” factors and technology factors.

Success depends on how well your organization is situated with respect to each of these.

The biggest mistake companies make when embarking on an initiative to improve their internal planning processes is to view them only through a technology and software lens. While making the right technology choices is important, technology cannot compensate for shortfalls in business process design, data deficiencies, or a corporate culture that is unprepared for change.
