Single company on-site and public courses conducted on a global basis.
Our course is based on our work with global corporations over the past 20+ years.
Leverage best practices and proven techniques to manage opportunity, risk, uncertainty, and improvement in your organization.
Leading companies must be able to manage the risks and uncertainties in today’s demand driven markets.
- How well is your company prepared to adapt to changing external conditions?
- Even if you have the pulse on external conditions, do you have an the aligned and coordinated response within your own organization and external trading partners?
Market leaders have robust Demand Planning and S&OP processes to direct the company’s resources and align functions around market needs. We have found that Demand Planners/Managers are key leaders not only in their function, but often also throughout the entire S&OP process. Thus, we’ve combined our demand planning and S&OP courses into one unique agenda that gives participants the best of both. The course covers the essential technical material to illustrate the techniques, but also focuses on the bigger picture items such as process, organization, change management, and driving at business results.
