Organisations, the first ever Integrated Business Planning (IBP) conference in
the Asia Pacific region. Leading organisations will meet to share their
experiences in implementing Integrated Business Planning (IBP) at the Crown
Conference Centre, Melbourne, on 24th-25th February 2015.
This event is an outstanding educational opportunity for industrys top executives to
learn how to take their IBP process to the next level. An unrivalled line up of
exceptional speakers, including Amanda Banfield, Managing Director at Mondelz
Australia and New Zealand, Graham Dugdale, Executive Director Commercial at
Simplot Australia and Ron Ireland, Principal at Oliver Wight Americas, the architect of
Walmarts CPFR forecasting and replenishment process. Each speaker will share
their experiences, lessons theyve learnt and the success theyve had.
Today, Integrated Business Planning sits at the heart of many organisations as the
management process that runs the entire business, says Mike Reed, Oliver Wight
Asia Pacific Managing Director. IBP allows companies to allocate resources to the
most productive activities and react swiftly to ever-changing market conditions, to
meet customer demand in the most efficient and profitable way.
On day two of the conference, delegates will have the opportunity to get up to speed
with the latest thought leadership on different aspects of IBP, by attending one or
more of the three unique Oliver Wight workshops, in addition to networking with other
delegates.
IBP is becoming a key element in the retail sector by changing the scope of supplier
collaboration, explains Ron Ireland who will lead a workshop on Collaboration and
IBP. Successful IBP implementation is very much dependent on people and
behaviours, thus, education has a vital role to play. Before people can apply best
practice they need to understand what it is and the key lies in workshops, ongoing
coaching and cascade education.
