SSON's Global Program Director, Naomi Secor, commented, "The recent recession forced business leaders to take a hard look at their organisations to ensure their time is invested in the highest value activities. One opportunity is to alter the FP&A model to improve effectiveness and efficiencies by standardising - and selectively centralising - key capabilities. As a result, in-house resources can be redirected to strategic initiatives that help the business make important decisions that open new revenue streams and drive competitive advantages."
