Good planning is instrumental in improving outcomes across the company: increasing revenue, anticipating market trends, and optimizing resources, to name a few. However, the supporting data to back up these claims has been limited—until now. Our annual benchmarking report investigates how leading organizations accelerate business value through Connected Planning.
In The State of Connected Planning, we surveyed over 1,000 planning professionals across all business functions in 45 countries and 18 industries to uncover leading planning trends in finance, supply chain, sales, marketing, human resources, operations, IT, and workforce functions.
KPIs are almost universally used in organizations of all types. But are they being used effectively? Are they making an impact on the system? Or are they expensive, consultant-driven projects that simply report performance? A well-designed KPI system provides the right agility to fit your business, and it keeps business in control.
In this webinar ( presentation), "Building a KPI Solution" you will
• Learn to discover and unleash the real value in your data
• Understand how you should plan for and design an effect KPI system
• Learn how to specify a solution, and how to avoid vendors that cannot deliver
This webinar (presentation) will also cover best practices in solution design, where to define your business logic, how to include analytics, and how to best work with the solution. Discover how organizations of all types are using actionable KPI systems to achieve business outcomes.
Companies today can now drive the future of their business within and across departments at the strategic, tactical, and operational levels without having to compromise on usability, flexibility, ease of model changes, and the speed to assess the impact of business decisions and planning scenarios.
Connected Planning breaks down information silos to eliminate any inefficiencies among financial planning, corporate planning, and operational planning.

Breaking bad habits with continuous supply chain planning Anaplan
Optimizing the supply chain has become a top priority for organizations worldwide. Unfortunately, sales and operations planning (S&OP) isn’t usually designed to fully integrate with the supply chain, much less finance and sales. A collaborative, continuously optimized planning approach to link demand, inventory, manufacturing, and fulfillment requirements will yield the best results.
Mark Smith, CEO and Chief Research Officer of Ventana Research, and Vivek Soneja, Managing Partner and Global Head of Supply Chain Management at Anaplan, discuss the best practices and technological approaches that optimize the supply chain to move beyond the ERP, SCM, and spreadsheet chaos that hold many businesses back.
Learn:
-How to adopt a continuous planning process for your supply chain
-Why many technological approaches fall short and limit your business potential
-How to enable inventory optimization for rapid “just-in-time” manufacturing
-Where you can use collaborative planning to guide critical decisions
-Best practices for your supply chain through industry research and customer examples

Connected Project Management in the Oil, Gas & Chemicals Industry Ashwin Menon
Gas & Chemicals is a capital intensive industry that has as a fundamental business requirement to increase project profitability for all capital projects. Why? Most companies are experiencing:
Increasing shareholder expectations and compliance requirements
A higher than acceptable rate of project budget overruns, delays, and even project failures
Increasing project complexity and shortening of delivery dates for projects
An increasing level of fragmented process and data management
The most effective approach to achieving this requirement of increased project profitability is by gaining improved insight and control and optimized process efficiency within each of the capital projects and across the investment portfolio.
This approach also drives a reduction in project risk through improved transparency and data consistency. As a result, each capital project team is able to achieve better quality and faster response times enabled via enhanced process standardization and flexibility.
SAP is committed to partnering with its customers as they transform into digital Oil, Gas & Chemical companies by helping:
Reimagine business models to find new revenue and profit sources by offering innovative approaches to addressing market challenges
Reimagine business processes and use digital technology to optimize business outcomes by converging information and operational technologies
Reimagine the role and structure of the workforce to support future business by incorporating wearable technology, 3D printers, and geospatial technologies
Our vision is to help the Oil, Gas & Chemicals industry digitally transform in order to drive profitable growth, build customer intimacy and grow talent.

Whitepaper - Connected Project Portfolio Management in the Oil & Gas IndustryAshwin Menon
One vital question often asked by executives dealing with an ever-changing market landscape is, “How should my company most effectively invest in in order to grow our revenue, capture market share, and increase profitability?"
To sustain long-term growth, companies must manage a number of projects at different stages of maturity. Many organizations struggle with capturing the voice of the customer, and translating that input into executable projects staffed with the right resources, while also ensuring adequate due diligence to make certain that projects align to corporate strategy and meet market expectations. Companies that more effectively manage this process position themselves for greater revenue realization, market share, and/or profitability.
Capital project portfolio management is all about making decisions about investment mix, matching investments to objectives and aligning them to strategy, allocating the right resources to the right projects, and balancing risk against performance.
This document offers our point of view on how capital project portfolio management must be implemented, how SAP can help, and some of the leading practices we have seen.

Microsoft Project in Manufacturing and Resources - Presented by AtidanDavid J Rosenthal
In these demanding economic times, many executives are facing sharper scrutiny of their discretionary spending. This increases the importance of effectively identifying, selecting, and delivering product portfolios that best align with an organization’s business strategy. Best-practice portfolio selection techniques provide a handshake between value optimization — that is, alignment with business priorities and maximizing ROI — and resource utilization, meaning the understanding of resource capabilities and availability. Together, these techniques help PMOs recommend not only which product to undertake, but to forecast their delivery.
Vision
Organizations can make business strategies more objective by adopting structured techniques for defining, prioritizing, and communicating business imperatives, and consistently evaluating each competing initiative that contributes to strategic priorities. Adopting a structured portfolio selection process helps organizations accomplish the following:
Define and communicate the business strategy: Many organizations publish mission statements and high-level strategic objectives. Few of them, however, break down their strategy into actionable, measurable, and unique business drivers. Defining and effectively communicating the business strategy provides a blueprint that organizational departments can understood and implement.
Drive executive consensus around business driver priorities: Objectively prioritizing the business strategy and driving executive consensus can help your organization more effectively assess competing initiatives and select the optimal portfolio.
Objectively prioritize competing products from multiple dimensions: Prioritizing products by using a variety of value measurements (e.g., strategic value, financial value, and risk) provides a framework for assessing requests from multiple dimensions and for creating a common currency with which to make comparisons.
Identify the optimal portfolio under varying budget and portfolio constraints: Facing budget cuts or requests that exceed the allocated budget creates a daunting task for PMOs. Additional variables, such as inter-product dependencies and regulatory requirements, can further compound the problem, creating a challenge in effectively modeling scenarios that will help identify the right products for an organization to undertake. Accurately capturing realistic cost and benefit estimates for products early in their lifecycle helps executives effectively select portfolios that maximize ROI under varying budget constraints and measure financial performance during product execution.
Effectively communicate tradeoffs: Budget, available resources, dependencies, pet products, and compliance requirements can potentially affect the overall value of selected product portfolios. Being able to identify and alter constraints helps PMOs communicate tradeoffs to the executive team and enhance the potential value gained from the resulting
