From Integrated Data to Trusted AI: The Modern FP&A You Can Trust
Webinar | Tuesday, 13 October 2026
3pm BST / 4pm CEST / 10am ET (45 minutes)
AI adoption in finance is accelerating fast, with over 65% of teams now using or testing AI within their planning platform. But here's what the research shows: the biggest payoff doesn't come from the AI itself. It comes from getting the data foundation, the team, and the governance right first.
Join Oliver Sullivin, Global Head of FP&A at Unit4, and Craig Schiff, President & CEO, Lead Analyst, at BPM Partners, for a practical 45-minute session packed with independent research, real-world reframes, and a live look at what governed, human-in-the-loop AI looks like inside a planning cycle.
Why attend this webinar:
- Get the data foundation right before scaling AI. Learn why fragmented data misleads AI and what a clean cross-platform architecture looks like in practice.
- See what's really driving vendor selection. Key insights from BPM Partners' 2026 Pulse Survey on why buyers prioritize integration, usability, and scalability.
- Rethink how AI reshapes FP&A roles, not replaces them. How top finance teams reskill analysts and take ownership of agentic AI ahead of IT.
- Tackle the three objections you'll hear from leadership. Practical, research-backed reframes for common executive pushback.
- Walk away with an AI Readiness Diagnostic. Benchmark your data, team, and governance against peers to clear key blockers.
