How TBD creates an Integrated Planning System

TBD's bottom-up planning system integrates all of an organization's systems, functions and processes into one coherent planning framework. This integration enables everyone within the organization to work with unified objectives.

The organization becomes a unified whole, with each function and department aligned behind the overall goals of the organisation.

Instead of "silos" ­ departments or functions working in isolation and often at cross-purposes, the IPS provides a genuinely co-ordinated system.

The company becomes truly greater than the sum of its parts, and can achieve more than ever before.

What does Team Business Development’s IPS achieve?

TBD’s IPS draws feedback and information from all levels of an organisation to give senior managers a clearer, more holistic picture of all functional areas. This bottom-up view breaks-up the settled world view often adopted by senior management.

Arriving at a global bottom-up view makes it a lot easier to see how separate areas impact one another, what new opportunities and threats are emerging at grass roots level and what hidden weaknesses need addressing.

The immediate outcome from a TBD planning session is a range of Action Programmes that precipitate sometimes dramatic improvements in productivity and performance across the entire organization. This translates into:

TBD’s team based IPS assists the easier development and adoption of new sub-systems and processes required to respond to changing strategic needs. As such, TBD speeds up:

•    Continuous improvement cycles,
•    New marketing strategy development and rollout,
•    Organizational learning,
•    New market penetration and sales growth,
•    Management development,
•    Change management initiatives
•    Waste elimination programmes.

Who needs TBD’s IPS?

Beyond the micro level of business size, any organisation regardless of sector needs an integrated planning system. The more complex the innovation cycle and delivery process to the customer the more useful TBD’s integrated planning can be.

In addition, TBD’s team based IPS facilitates faster change through greater enthusiastic buy-in from staff, more robust decision-making, reduced stress and intense management focus.
