How to Build Scenarios Like a Wharton Program FP&A Leader
When conditions shift fast, most scenario planning turns into a spreadsheet exercise. It’s interesting, but it’s not useful for decision-making.
In this workshop, Christian Wattig, Director of Wharton’s FP&A Program, is teaching you how to run scenario planning the way top FP&A team do it - and how AI can accelerate every step from idenfitying meaningful shifts in key drivers to quantifying impact and pre-defining actions so your team can move faster and with more confidence.
This session is grounded in the same frameworks Christian uses to train finance teams at companies like Google, Merck, and Lowe’s, translated into a hands-on approach you can apply immediately.
