Integrated Business and Financial Planning

Integrate Supply Chain and Financial Planning

In today’s VUCA world, characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, companies face the challenge of continuously adapting their business strategies to their environment and acting flexibly.

This makes fact-based decision-making in real-time an essential tool for successfully managing companies – sustainably and in continuously changing markets.

Integrated Business & Financial Planning (IB&FP) offers a holistic planning approach that allows for the integration of financial and supply chain planning. It creates the conditions for fact-based decisions to be made along the entire value chain based on holistic process data.

Our current white paper on the topic of IB&FP provides an overview of how companies can elevate their planning to the next level. In it, we outline the key prerequisites and success factors for developing a holistic business planning approach and demonstrate what we consider to be the most important steps for the successful implementation of IB&FP.

In the future, all stakeholders will have to pull together when it comes to corporate planning. The challenges of the recent past can only be efficiently solved if the impact of decisions along the entire value chain can be directly assessed against the company’s objectives. IB&FP offers the C-suite a tool to take corporate planning to a new level.
