Integrated Business Planning (Advanced S&OP) Course

The business results from Integrated Business Planning are impressive. But knowing how to align all company plans to achieve those benefits may seem daunting.

The purpose of Oliver Wight’s IBP course is to show how to implement a best practice process and align functional plans every month. It introduces each step of the process.

Class participants learn what it takes to successfully implement the process. They will also understand how top companies use IBP to identify gaps in business performance with enough time to avert a crisis.

What Is the Integrated Business Planning (Advanced S&OP) Course
