McKinsey & Company recently published an article outlining the best practices for building the most efficient and effective financial planning and analysis (FP&A) team possible. They explain that increasing economic uncertainties (for example, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, etcetera) have put more pressure on traditional FP&A processes and teams, which are geared toward quarterly and annual cycles rather than real-time challenges, making it crucial for teams to increase productivity and systemize their work. 

According to McKinsey, the best way to do this is to improve execution in operations by:

1. Emphasizing speed
2. Relying more on data, less on intuition
3. Developing a detailed perspective on strategy
4. Enabling big moves
