KEYNOTE PRESENTATION: Margin Revolutions - How Liberal Arts Shaped My FP&A Playbook

In this keynote, Matt Poleski explores the unlikely but powerful intersection of liberal arts and financial strategy. Drawing from Economics (Thomas Bayes), Psychology (Daniel Kahneman), and Chemistry (Safi Bahcall), he reveals how probabilistic thinking, cognitive bias, and phase transitions have shaped his approach to FP&A, leadership, and growth. Anchored in his upcoming FP&A Trends article series, the talk unfolds in three parts: Part 1: The Growth-Profitability Trade-Off — How marginal revenue vs. marginal cost frameworks help FP&A guide smarter choices Part 2: Investigating Marginal Revenue and Costs — Segmenting revenue groups and employee classes to uncover hidden levers Part 3: Continuous Monitoring — Using matrix-based reviews to adapt strategy as business conditions evolve Through stories, models, and practical tools, Matt shows how liberal arts disciplines offer more than theory — they provide a lens for navigating uncertainty, influencing decisions, and designing systems that scale. Margin Revolutions is a call to rethink how we grow: not just by cutting costs, but by deepening insight.
