Is Your Planning Process Agile? After the Past Three Crazy Years, It Needs to Be Agile, Nimble, and Dynamic!

Agile means “to move quickly & easily!” The last three years have seen growth, pandemic crash, supply chain disruption, inflation, tight labor market, and rising interest rates! Did your planning process keep up? You need a planning and forecasting process that can keep up, bridging operations with management, using automation to forecast the routine, focusing on incremental initiatives, and escalating exceptions.
