When YOU are faced with this…

How do you decide?

IBP is a strategic planning

process to manage change

and support data-based

decision making.

It enables the pursuit of

operational excellence

through an enhanced Sales

& Operations Planning

(S&OP) cycle.

It realigns the tactical plans

for all business functions in

all geographies to support

the company's strategies,

business goals and targets.

They direct and oversee the integrated operational and financial planning process to promote

organizational effectiveness. They work with the executive management team to provide broad-based

strategic thought leadership on a variety of business topics. They lead the preparation of business

updates, while relying on experience and judgment to plan and accomplish strategic goals. They lead

and direct analysis and the work of data owners, utilizing a wide degree of creativity and latitude.

What does an

IBP Leader do?

We need to build a culture where effective decision making takes place

at every level of the organization. Putting in a process to empower

employees isn’t enough. They need to feel empowered. Responsible.

Accountable. Culture will always override process in times of crisis.
