Overview:FOBO businesses in Europe, AMESA and APAC have migrated its planning capability from XLS to MOSAIC, an integrated and digital planning tool, in a step forward towards reaching the Financial Planning 2025 Vision. However, the underlaying FOBO operating model limits our ability to capture benefits given the high attrition and lack of process standardization.To become more capable, agile, and efficient a fundamental change in the way we do FOBO Financial Planning is required, which will be addressed by establishing the FOBO Planning Central (FPC).FPC evolves the GBS approach, pivoting from a geography focus to a process focus, and allows BUs to concentrate their attention on the Bottlers. Planning services will be provided by single team, based in HBS, led by a single leader to serve FOBO globally. The central planning team will be organized around key processes under 3 roles to drive efficiency and standardization:1) Navigators: Single point of contact for the BU, responsible for overall planning and analysis activities
2) Integrators: Works with Navigator to support business closing activities, reporting & planning
3) Ecosystem Admin: Owns TM1 data quality and overall system administrationThis new operating model will provide a better and faster response to BUs.
