Most companies have implemented some form of S&OP but few have really integrated the S&OP process into the business planning/financial process. This session will discuss S&OP as we know it today, the benefits and shortcomings of the traditional supply/demand review and how Integrated Business Planning will help your company gain cross functional alignment to move your business to the next level.

4. What’s in a Name
S&OP or IBP
Why IBP is becoming essential to an
organization
9. Why change the name?
Sales and operations planning (S&OP) is a decades-old, cross-functional,
consensus-driven planning process dutifully performed by
middle management. But as companies seek a competitive edge amid
global volatility, advanced S&OP is fast becoming an executive
imperative
Integrated business planning (IBP) refers to the technologies,
applications and processes of connecting the planning function across
the enterprise to improve organizational alignment and financial
performance. IBP accurately represents a holistic model of the company
in order to link strategic planning and operational planning with
financial planning.
10. Do we need IBP?
Well-run companies are also committing to
Integrated Business Planning (IBP), the holistic
decision-making process leveraging prescriptive
analytics to link important strategic, operational and
financial planning functions. They challenge and
empower employees to consider all significant and
quantifiable activities in their IBP process.
11. IBP creates a horizontal connections between
departments creating alignment to what the customer
wants.

12. So… What is IBP exactly?
The IBP process is
designed to have multiple
coordinators orchestrating
the individual steps. A
natural camaraderie
develops between the
coordinators, especially
during the difficult early
cycles as the process is
being rapidly improved
15. Where do I start?
1. Use the talent of the people you already have.
2. Make it your own - “The road of life twists and turns
and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons
come from the journey, not the destination.”
Don Williams, Jr. (American Novelist and Poet, b.1968
3. Hire an IBP Leader - The role of IBP Leader is not an
administrative role, but a key role in orchestrating the IBP
process. The coordinator should be the "right-hand person"
to the owner of the respective step in the process
If you can afford it – Hire a Consultant to help
16. Identify and education the IBP Process
Owners:
• Product – What changes are being made to the
product portfolio in the planning horizon (~ 3-24
months)
• Demand – What is the customer demand for these
products and the price they are willing to pay
• Supply – do we have the supply to meet this demand
and what are the options to close the gap and what is
the cost
• Financial – Does the demand for the product and the
margin meet our financial commitments?

Editor's Notes
Why is this important?
Culture + Values + Principles help us create alignment to deliver business results
Structure to our mindsets, behaviors, and processes helps onboard new people (both leaders and individual contributors) so they become effective in the organization sooner, as key activities are standardized through Standard Work and Leader Standard Work and create time for continuously improving our system.
If you start to review IBP and S&OP you will find hundreds of articles from various consultants and industry experts. There a many good organizations to work with but a few of my favorite are
Supply Chain Digest – has fantastic articles and learnings
Oliver Wight - in my humble opinion has one of the best IBP models
Supply Chain Insights – Lora Cecere is a great thought leader
It doesn’t matter what it’s called – the process and the results are what’s important
IBP prioritizes horizontal connections over vertical ones. Vertical ones are still important –
Align to the customer
Reduce waste and inefficiency
I see the IBP process as much more tightly integrated with the financial review as well as the overall management review. S&OP was primarily focused on understanding and closign the supply and demand gap and talking about OBSM.
SO… how do I implement IBP in my organization?
It was a “presentation/informative” meeting. Not a decision meeting
