How effectively does your organization collaborate in S&OP planning?
You answered: Effectively
Ventana Research insight: Good going! S&OP is an organizational discipline that requires effective collaboration to achieve results. Our benchmark research finds that 38 percent of companies are able to collaborate effectively. Be sure that your organization stays excellent through skills development and periodic testing. There are probably many small improvements in your process, communications, data and software that you can make to achieve an even more effective process. You should determine whether your organization has full access to timely and accurate data, and assess the software it uses to manage its S&OP models, the design of the process itself, the individuals who are involved in the process and their roles (Is everyone who needs to be part of the process involved and engaged?), how information is communicated, and the methods your company uses to support collaboration.
