Despite clear, financial benefits to the organization, many execs struggle to develop strong Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) functions: Interestingly, the S&OP process itself is fairly well understood. Software systems designed to manage S&OP available to business of all sizes and budgets. Moreover, even with rudimentary tools (e.g., spreadsheets), most companies can create some value by establishing S&OP processes. So what's the problem? Effective S&OP is often unsuccessful because companies fail to understand the role of their people—at all levels of the organizations. Simply identifying the process steps, tools, and technology is not enough. Instead, companies need to generate buy-in and consensus at all levels of the organization. We call this the "Socio" part of the process. This webinar S&OP: Closing the Gap Between People and Process will introduce the concept of Socio-Tech systems and how it applies to the S&OP business process.
