Traditional planning processes often operate in silos—finance, supply chain, sales, and operations each working independently. This fragmented approach leads to inefficiencies, misaligned goals, and a lack of agility when responding to market changes. Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is transforming how organizations plan by aligning these functions into a single, cohesive strategy.
