S&OE – the “ugly duckling” is becoming “the most beautiful bird”.
๐&๐๐ and ๐๐๐ are core business processes in many organisations and we love to be ๐๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐พ๐ธ and ๐ ๐๐ธ๐ถ๐ธ๐๐พ๐๐ฎ. What about ๐&๐๐, where it seems to be all about ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ธ๐๐พ๐๐ฐ on current challenges?
Many companies focus mainly on day to day operational activities in their S&OP / IBP meetings, so they are really doing ๐&๐๐, but they have ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐๐๐๐ข๐ง๐๐ the process well and are not deriving full advantage from the meetings. Others run a separate weekly ๐&๐๐, but that process is treated like an ๐๐๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ matter.
During the pandemic crisis the “๐น๐ป๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฝ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ธ๐ท๐ฝ๐ป๐ธ๐ต” approach of ๐บ&๐ถ๐ท/๐ฐ๐ฉ๐ท has shown limitations to address challenges emerging out of the current moment. A solid ๐&๐๐ with a โ๐ผ๐ฎ๐ท๐ผ๐ฎ ๐ช๐ท๐ญ ๐ป๐ฎ๐ผ๐น๐ธ๐ท๐ญโ approach is of critical importance in a complex business environment.
