Connected Planning in Higher Education

A smarter approach to university planning

Universities face a unique planning challenge. Each faculty, research stream, and campus operates almost like its own business, yet every decision must feed into one cohesive financial picture.

In this on-demand webinar, Stephen Pass, Higher Education Sector Lead at Sempre Analytics, is joined by Sam Horne, former Director of Finance at the University of London, to discuss how her team modernised their approach to financial planning and reporting.

Together, they explore how the University replaced complex Excel-based processes with a connected planning approach powered by Anaplan, creating a single version of the truth across long-term planning, budgeting, management reporting and headcount forecasting.

In this session you’ll learn:

  • Why connected planning is transforming finance across the Higher Education sector
  • How the University of London built agility into their financial planning and reforecasting cycles
  • Practical lessons for replacing spreadsheet-heavy models with a collaborative, governed planning platform
  • The cultural and operational impact of connecting data, teams and decisions across the university

Watch on demand to hear first-hand how a leading UK university is driving financial transformation, and how connected planning is helping higher education institutions forecast with confidence.
