Description

Forward-thinking companies are evolving their Sales and Operations Planning processes into Integrated Business Planning (IBP) for a simple reason: doing so generates far greater gains in their business results. In an easy-to-digest format, this book uses a fictional company to show how to transition to IBP and further explains how companies are linking strategy to execution through the IBP process.

Since soft skills often make the difference between success and failure in an IBP implementation, this seminal work also offers more than 200 business principles that can often be forgotten when you are in the trenches of daily business battles. These principles address collaboration, decision making, aligning the executive team, managing change in the organization, and much more.
