What the check covers

Seven capability areas, weighted to reflect what most separates an integrated business planning process from a monthly forecast meeting.

  • Executive Leadership & Ownership

    Whether the leadership team owns the process and decides through it.

  • Integrated Business Outlook

    Whether demand, supply and finance reconcile into one forward view.

  • Demand Planning

    The quality, honesty and usefulness of the demand signal.

  • Supply, Capacity & Inventory

    Whether supply capability is tested against the plan early enough to act.

  • Financial Integration

    Whether the operational plan connects to financial consequence.

  • Decision Quality & Governance

    Whether the cycle produces decisions that are recorded and followed through.

  • Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

    Whether functions work the problem together and the process keeps improving.
