Episode Synopsis
Episode 47: Why xP&A is not just marketing hype
No guest
Extended Planning and Analysis – or xP&A – is having a moment right now. It is the latest piece of jargon being hyped up by analysts like Gartner (who coined it) and planning software vendors like Anaplan, IBM and Workday Adaptive. Even QueBIT is talking about it!
But is it JUST hype? In this week’s podcast episode, we explain why we believe it is more than mere hype, and represents a very real shift in how companies are rethinking their planning and reporting processes in a fast-moving, digital world awash in change and disruption.
The old solution of working late or throwing more bodies at the problem is no longer realistic: it simply cannot scale at the pace the situation requires. We also talk about digital transformation in general, what is pushing companies to make those investments now, and how it is imperative that digital transformation of internal planning, analysis and reporting processes keeps pace with all the other changes. This is what embracing xP&A is all about.
