Integrated Business Planning, Resiliency, and Risk in the Supply Chain — A Conversation with Michael Conley of Wolters Kluwer | CCH Tagetik

The bluEPrint by Executive Platforms

At the 2023 edition of the North American Supply Chain Executive Summit series we sat down with Michael Conley about the advantages of connecting Supply Chain teams and Finance teams through Integrated Business Planning (IBP), which is a well-established business system that is now offering a wide range of important new capabilities in the current business landscape of frequent disruption we are all trying to navigate today. Resiliency and Risk Management are always reinforced through visibility, transparency, and easy collaboration between different departments and leaders, and IBP lives and breathes on those principles. That said, there are challenges involved in getting IBP up and running effectively. Companies need to think about their culture, how they collect and analyze data, and how the day-to-day work of their people will change when everyone is sharing and looking at the same information at the same time. What is the best path forward for companies who want to implement IBP and then get the most out of it? Give this episode a listen!
