IBP / ITP Design and Launch
Design, stand up, and coach Integrated Business Planning and Integrated Tactical Planning: the cadence, roles, and decision forums that put demand, supply, and Finance on one plan.
Symptoms we hear
- Sales, Operations, and Finance each run their own number
- The monthly S&OP meeting reviews the past instead of deciding the future
- Decisions get escalated, deferred, or made in hallways
- The financial plan and the operating plan never reconcile
Financial impact
- P&L
- Revenue and margin delivered against plan
- Balance sheet
- Inventory and working capital
- Cash flow
- Fewer surprise buys and write-offs
Best for: Organizations with siloed or immature planning, or an S&OP process that has lost credibility.
Our approach
Assess
Benchmark planning maturity, cadence, and cross-functional alignment against Verdon's 5-stage IBP and 6-stage ITP playbooks.
Design
Define the process, meeting cadence, decision rights, inputs and outputs, and the hand-offs between IBP, ITP, and execution (S&OE).
Implement
Run the first cycles alongside your team, coach process owners, and hand over a rhythm that sustains itself.
Deliverables
- IBP and ITP process design with RACI and decision rights
- Monthly and weekly calendar, agendas, and pre-read templates
- Metric set tied to owners and financial statement lines
- Coaching through the first live planning cycles
