JDA and Oliver Wight Integrated Business Planning Workshop - 23 April 2013

The ability to respond to changing market conditions is the key to business success. The Integrated Business Planning and S&OP Workshop will help you understand how to stay ahead of your competition.

Since 2007, businesses have experienced unprecedented levels of market volatility, and this volatility has led to wholesale adoption of Integrated Business Planning practices and S&OP processes. However, many companies are now concluding that management of such an important process is inefficient when relying on Excel, email and Powerpoint. JDA S&OP is designed to specifically address these requirements.
The workshop will enable you to:

• Understand how to manage the “gap” between the current plan and the annual operating plan.
  
• Analyse and view data through multiple lenses and to cope with a regional/global matrix process
• Administer the S&OP process itself using workflow, exceptions and audit trails
• Identify performance gaps early to ensure optimal profitability
• Learn how appropriate aggregation underpins the process of timely decision making
• Understand the importance of enabling accountability through transparent impact analysis and providing a “corporate memory”
• Support adoption through familiarity and ease of use
