This decision-making cycle is based on a single integrated plan for the entire business operation and is considered by many to be the Holy Grail. However, there are various views on what IBP actually entails and what is needed to set up such a process. Therefore, we provide you with a general overview of what we consider to be the key elements or building blocks to consider when implementing IBP within your organization.

Yesterday we ran our Digital Planning event "Embracing the Digital Future" for the third year in a row. With representatives of over sixty companies, we explored the fast moving world of digital planning, its current trends and enormous potential. A big thank you to @Tineke Kok for sharing JDE’s fantastic Digital Planning journey and @Bas Groothedde for guiding us through the vast array of technologies, emphasizing the crucial symbiosis between human and artificial intelligence. Key takeaways: 1.       Start now! – You cannot afford to sit still, as you will be overtaken left and right by the ones who hopped on the fast train. 2.       The Human Factor – The role of people will remain central to the success of any digital planning initiative. As Bas put it: “It takes two to tango; without humans, the rocket won’t fly.” 3.       Start Small – Do not get overwhelmed but set achievable goals and start building momentum.

𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗮𝗸𝘁 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿 Als de afgelopen jaren ons iets hebben geleerd, is het dat organisaties kwetsbaar zijn. Vraag en aanbod zijn vaak niet in balans. Dit leidt tot aanzienlijke gevolgen voor de service en leveringen aan klanten, evenals druk op productiecapaciteit en werkkapitaal. Als gevolg hiervan denken veel organisaties tegenwoordig in termen van scenario's. Door deze scenario's in kaart te brengen, streven organisaties ernaar steeds veerkrachtiger en flexibeler te worden.
