Today’s innovations in planning
XP&A, or Extended Planning and Analysis: This term for today’s best practice in business planning, branded by Gartner, consists of financial planning and analysis (FP&A) and multiple operational planning solutions delivered on a single integrated, data-harmonized platform. “It ‘extends’ traditional FP&A solutions focused solely on finance into other enterprise planning domains such as workforce, sales, supply chain, and marketing,” Gartner writes.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML): Recent innovations by leading planning technologies have significantly enhanced the capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning within the platforms to further automate predictive planning processes. AI and ML represent a game-changing shift in IBP and XP&A, providing an opportunity to not only profoundly change the way planning is done but also achieve significant increases in forecast accuracy, while cutting down on planning cycle times and executing faster responses to changes.
