Hindsight is always 20/20, and with 2020 in the rear view mirror, there is much to be learned that will improve our demand planning in 2021 and beyond. Join myself and four senior planning leaders and learn how best-in-class companies are thriving in the current environment. They'll reveal what processes, techniques and methodologies they're using to balance supply and demand amid the complexity of shifting demand patterns, changing consumer behavior and multiple sales channels.

It is possible to thrive in the chaos. Focusing on S&OP, we'll give you practical, real-world advice that you can use in your organization for better demand planning, both today and into the future.

You will learn:

Balancing short term reactions with long-term planning
Best practices from companies embracing the new normal of ever-changing demand patterns
What to do with 2020 data and forecasting going forward
Lessons learned from 2020 that we can carry forward
What to you do when S&OP plans change the day after you set them
How to prepare our S&OP/IBP process for the next black swan event

Join us on February 22, 24, and 26 for IBF's world-leading S&OP/IBP Boot Camp. Designed to make S&OP a reality in your organization, you'll learn the processes, techniques and methodologies behind balancing supply and demand within a structured, collaborative, planning forum. With Directors of Demand Planning and Supply Chain at multibillion companies as your instructors, you couldn't be in safer hands. Register here.
