Foresight & Signals: 
Unlock External Data for Proactive Planning

You can’t plan for the future while looking in the rear view mirror.

Markets shift, weather hits supply chains, sentiment turns, and most finance teams are caught off guard.

Hosted by Board CTO Rich Wagner and Propriety Group CTO Ricard Ribatallada, this webinar will show you how to get ahead of the curve and future-proof your existing planning tools with real-time, AI-driven external data.

Are you stuck with outdated, unreliable data?

If you use a planning or EPM tool like Board or Anaplan, it’s time to move from reactive reporting to proactive forecasting for superior decision-making across the business. 

Reactive Decisions

Most businesses still forecast using internal data, which only tells you what already happened. It doesn’t tell you why it happened, or what’s coming next. 
When energy prices surge or demand dips, it’s too late to adapt.

Data Silos and Guesswork

Multiple systems, disconnected reports and manual consolidation slow everything down. Finance spends days chasing data instead of analysing it. In a market where conditions change daily, that lag destroys agility. 

Blind Spots Beyond Your Control

Performance depends on far more than what happens inside your business. External forces like inflation, weather, social sentiment and tariffs all shape demand. Ignoring them is like driving at night with your headlights off.

In this webinar, we walk you through:

Live External Data

Feeding live data, from commodities to consumer sentiment, directly into your planning models.

AI Driven Simulations

Using AI to simulate thousands of real-world “what-if” scenarios.

Market Trends & Insights

Moving from reporting to foresight, turning external data into clear insights.

Quicker Rollout & Adoption

Going live in weeks, not months or years, without ripping or replacing your existing tools.

Turn market volatility into strategic advantage

Learn how Board is used to monitor market signals, model scenarios, and activate Plan B or Plan C the moment conditions shift. With macroeconomic insight and real-time collaboration, your organisation can move faster and plan with confidence.
