A unique approach - building and sustaining the IBP process your business needs
Many organisations still struggle to execute the Integrated Business planning (IBP) process that they want. Research shows that despite IBP being a well-defined and established approach, it remains at only basic competency level in around 75% of the organisations. Other organisations find that their IBP process effectiveness diminishes over time after a positive start (and often significant investment).
Typically, the support on offer to address these problems is heavily supply chain-orientated and focuses on the process, systems and data aspects of IBP. However, participants in IBP will report that whilst better data, a clearer process or more efficient systems would certainly help, they do not address the most elusive requirement for impactful and sustained IBP –
genuine cross-functional engagement and participation in the process.
