Planning for Growth - it’s what every CEO wants. 

Planning for Growth. It’s a mindset. It’s an opportunity.  It requires new ways of thinking, followed by new ways of working.

Traditional planning considers demand and supply.  Its planning structure (item/DC, item/plant,etc.) is internally focused, reflecting the point of view of the company doing the planning.  It’s ‘one-size-fits-all’, where the same forecasting and planning strategies are applied across-the-board.  It is frequently supply-driven, and cost-focused. It doesn’t understand variability, or how to deal with market dynamics. It is inadequate when faced with shifting business patterns and the complexities of a global business.

Planning for Growth is about combining portfolio and planning capabilities to address and simplify complexity. Its planning structure is market and customer focused.  It applies targeted forecasting and planning strategies to different segments of the product, customer and market portfolio.  It is demand driven, and growth and profitability focused.  It understands variability, and the root causes of it. It incorporates external data and market dynamics and their impact on the business.  It recognizes shifting business patterns and how to tune planning capabilities to reflect them.
