Summit Introduction

Global disruptions have caused major headaches, pains and long restless nights for planners, forecasters and managers who have had to grapple with market shocks due to the pandemic, an ongoing war between Russia and the West and continued tensions between China and America. On a daily basis, constant challenges to SMEs to large companies are putting strain on the preexisting operational model’s companies have in place. If businesses are able to drive levels of excellence in their own departments, knowing how to build resilient pillars of the strategy is imperative to safeguarding against external threats and insecurity.

Many companies remain inactive, while the most progressive prefer to solve the problems that have arisen.

At our Global S&OP & Integrated Business Planning Summit you will get the chance to learn from the best, solve the issues surrounding your own dilemmas and be able to network with thought leaders and industry professionals.

Reviews From Our Past Events

Testimonials from previous attendees.

"I had the pleasure and the privilege to chair and speak at the “Global Finance 4.0 and Finance Transformation Summit” organized by Conferenzia World in Berlin, 9-10 November 2023. Congratulations! All the ingredients to ensure a successful conference were in place. The selection of relevant and sometimes disruptive topics, the flow during the 2 days with a smart mix of experienced practitioners and insightful analysts and consultants as keynote speakers and panelists made the program quite rich and attractive from the very start. A good mix of active and lively attendees from diverse countries and industries contributed to the depth and breath of the exchanges. The reasonable size of the audience allowed for a more intimate networking during the breaks. Not to forget the Berlin location which allowed for some refreshing sightseeing in this city always in transformation also! Two days well spent and lots of learnings to bring back to the French and EMEA CFO community which I chair and facilitate for the Digital Transformation, Shared Services and Outsourcing and Artificial Intelligence topics."

     Armand Angeli      Vice-President International & Digital Transformation, DFCG

"I was very honored to speak about strategic outsourcing and external collaborations for CMC development and manufacturing of biologics at the recent Global Bioprocessing Summit in Berlin. I greatly enjoyed attending the event; it was a very valuable one in my view. The summit offered great opportunities for networking and benchmarking. The quality of presentations and panel discussions was very high. The event's organization was well done. I was very pleased about the interest in the topics and thus lively discussions and open-minded atmosphere. I met great people and enjoyed sharing thoughts and experiences. A big THANK YOU to the organizers for this successful summit and the opportunity to contribute."

     Ulrich Rümenapp      Senior Biotech Program Lead, Bayer AG

"Matias and I had a really great time at the summit in Amsterdam. We met a lot of interesting people and who are very interested in our new solution Videobot. Matias presentation was also very appreciated and I believe inspired many of the attendees."

     Carolyn Gobran      Sales & Marketing Manager, Videobot

"I was very pleased to be able to show case many of the offerings Lonza has to offer and it was good to have so many questions after the presentation and also after the conference ended. I guess it is always a good sign if a topic receives further interest over the course of the event. Many thanks for your organization of the event and for inviting Lonza to share its broad range of Development Technologies approaches and experience in speeding time from Development to Clinic. I too learned a lot from the other presentations on the day."

     James Berrie      Technical Director, Global Process Development, Lonza

"I enjoyed the summit as I learnt a lot about current CX and Digital Transformation challenges. Great minds came together to discuss our experience about People-Oriented CX. It is really hard to change processes and priorities in organizations even though there are clear data-driven reasons and explanations. I was amused to see how companies from different verticals – such as theme parks, retail stores or FMCG brands – approach CX and what initiatives they have to learn more about customer needs. Neticle has an important role in driving this shift for clients - it takes time and CX managers need partners and support from the other departments as well. Though measurement and KPIs are getting more and more standardized, the meaning behind the ratings, so the customer verbatim management is still a problem to solve. It is not sustainable to read and process hundreds or thousands of text units one by one, so automation is a must-have now. I personally enjoyed being on stage and sharing my thoughts with more than 100 CX-engaged professionals. It's been a unique opportunity to start meaningful discussions about text analytics in the field of CX and digital transformation. All participants were highly experienced, open-minded, aiming to learn from the others."

     Péter Szekeres      Co-founder and Chairman, Neticle Enterprise Text Analytics

Boosting Business Efficiency: Lessons learned from the 8th Global S&OP & Integrated Business Planning Summit

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, effective planning and integrated business strategies are vital for staying ahead of the competition. To harness the power of strategic alignment and optimize operational processes, more than 70 companies from various industries recently attended the 8th Global S&OP & Integrated Business Planning Summit in Amsterdam on the 11 th and 12 th of May. This immersive event as well and it provided us with  valuable insights, innovative Sales & Operations planning (S&OP) techniques, and networking opportunities with proven industry leaders and experienced supply chain professionals.

One of the greatest advantages was the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and professionals from diverse sectors. The summit featured an impressive lineup of industry experts and thought leaders delivering insightful presentations and sharing their experiences. EyeOn consultants had the privilege of participate in expert talks and of hosting panel discussions that covered a wide range of topics, including innovative demand forecasting techniques, alignment of Supply chain and Sales for better planning, and integration of constrained and unconstrained demand. These thought-provoking sessions not only broadened the understanding of best practices but also offered practical solutions to address the challenges we face in our day-to-day work with customers. For example EyeOn consumer goods market expert, Jens Lubrich, was invited to a roundtable discussion about Proactive S&OP strategy. He shared his expertise about the best practice that allow this next step of the S&OP evolution to be embraced in the companies. His extensive experience in FMCG and Retail businesses within EyeOn helped him to bring some lively examples from global market leaders in S&OP/IBP.

The Global S&OP & IBP Summit showcased the latest trends and emerging technologies in the field of integrated business planning. From innovative ways of working with financial plans to machine learning and artificial intelligence, we gained exposure to cutting-edge ideas that can revolutionize planning processes. Learning about these innovative technologies and their successful implementations by industry leaders has inspired us to explore new avenues for helping our customers improving their business efficiency. One of EyeOn experts, Willem Gerbecks, was able to share his experience in unleashing power of Driver based forecasting. His presentation was dedicated to modern business challenges that companies can solve using ML-powered Driver based forecasting. Using couple of real-life examples from our customers Willem showed how little a company actually needs to start implementing DBF approach and to put it into practice. EyeOn has large experience in this area supporting customers on all stages of DBF journey, from defining the right drivers and setting up data structure to embedding of DBF into an existing planning process in form of service or inhouse capability.

The summit also featured real-world case studies presented by companies that have successfully implemented advanced S&OP and IBP methodologies. These case studies offered invaluable insights into the challenges faced during implementation, the strategies employed, and the measurable results achieved. These case studies were accompanied by panel discussions among professionals who could extend it with experiences from their companies.  For example a big part of the program was dedicated to the topic of change management which directly concerns all attendees of the summit. It is worth  to say that S&OP/IBP improvement leads to all sort of changes: processes, people and their mindset and behaviour, KPIs, new skills and techniques, and solutions. All these transformations should be properly facilitated in order to sustain improvements for business. EyeOn expert in Planning Services, Andrey Averyanov, together with other experienced panellists shared a  comprehensive view on existing change management techniques, roles and responsibilities of different functions in organisation in this change management journey, and the key skills which are required for the successful execution of advanced S&OP/IBP. EyeOn, being not only content expert in the area of Supply chain planning but also a successful customer’s navigator in transition and adaptation journey, brings together  thought leadership together with profound change management expertise. This combination guarantees the highest quality of execution of projects to serve the needs of our customers in a sustainable way.

Attending the 8th Global S&OP & IBP Summit in Amsterdam proved to be an enriching experience. Through networking, thought-provoking discussions, exposure to emerging trends, and practical case studies, we gained valuable insights and tools to enhance our business efficiency. We left the summit equipped with a broader perspective and an array of innovative strategies to drive our customers forward. By embracing the concepts and methodologies shared at the summit, we are confident in our ability to optimize our planning processes and ensure greater success of our partners in today’s dynamic business environment.

Want to know how EyeOn can bring these best practices to your company?

Maximizing the Benefits of Global S&OP at the Integrated Business Planning Summit

The Integrated Business Planning (IBP) Summit is an annual event that brings together executives, planners, and industry leaders from all over the world to discuss the latest trends and practices in supply chain management. One of the key topics at this year’s summit is maximizing the benefits of global Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP).

In today’s global business environment, S&OP has become critical for success. It enables companies to align their demand plans with their supply plans and identify potential risks and opportunities. However, implementing and executing an effective global S&OP process can be a challenge.

Here are some key insights that will be discussed at the IBP summit on how to maximize the benefits of global S&OP.

1. Ensuring Leadership Alignment

The success of any S&OP process begins with leadership alignment. Leaders need to establish clear goals and objectives for the S&OP process that align with the overall business strategy. This means involving the C-suite and other key stakeholders from the beginning and keeping them engaged throughout the process.

2. Creating a Collaborative Culture

An effective S&OP process requires collaboration across different functions, including sales, marketing, operations, and finance. To create a collaborative culture, companies need to break down silos and establish open lines of communication. This can be achieved through regular meetings, cross-functional training, and shared performance metrics.

3. Utilizing Technology

Technology plays a critical role in enabling a global S&OP process. It can help automate data collection and analysis, improve visibility across the supply chain, and enable real-time decision making. However, technology alone cannot solve all problems. It needs to be integrated with the overall S&OP process and used in conjunction with human expertise.

4. Focusing on Continuous Improvement

S&OP is not a one-time event. It requires continuous improvement to stay relevant and effective. Companies need to track performance metrics, identify areas for improvement, and implement changes to the S&OP process. This requires a culture of continuous improvement and a willingness to adapt and change over time.

In conclusion, global S&OP is critical for success in today’s global business environment. To maximize its benefits, companies need to ensure leadership alignment, create a collaborative culture, utilize technology, and focus on continuous improvement. By following these best practices, companies can achieve better alignment of demand and supply plans, reduce costs, and improve customer satisfaction. The IBP summit provides a valuable opportunity to learn from industry leaders and experts in this field, and to stay on top of the latest trends and practices in supply chain management.

Board International still Market Leader in BARC Score for Integrated Planning & Analytics DACH 2024

March 28, 2024 – London, UK

Board International, a global leader in enterprise planning solutions, is rated as Market Leader for the sixth successive year in this year’s BARC Score for Integrated Planning & Analytics, achieving the highest score in the portfolio capabilities axis which reflects functional and architectural criteria.

The BARC report defines Market Leaders as “well-established vendors that drive strong market adoption, supported by technology innovation and strategic acquisitions and by leveraging robust account management and a solid track record. Their portfolio enjoys high brand awareness in the market and covers an extensive range of technologies and services […]. Market Leaders typically have a large market share, making them a viable contender in almost all implementation scenarios.”

Vendors are evaluated on two dimensions: Portfolio Capabilities and Market Execution. Each represents one axis on the BARC Score. Ratings are determined using a combination of scores for capabilities such as planning, budgeting and forecasting, ease of use for business users, portfolio evaluation, product strategy, and customer satisfaction.

The report's overall description of Board called out the following strengths:

• Flexible, fully web-based planning and performance management platform with tightly integrated system architecture of proprietary multidimensional in-memory database and front ends.
• Graphical no-code development environment for business power users to create tailored planning and performance management applications.
• Comprehensive planning, budgeting and forecasting functionality for all kinds of planning approaches (top-down, bottom-up or combinations of both). Customers can address various workflow-based planning topics on one common platform with different aggregation levels (e.g., strategic, financial and operational planning) for an integrated business planning approach.
• Complementary, comprehensive capabilities for BI and analytics including dashboards, reporting and analysis with a rich portfolio of visual objects. AI-and ML-augmented planning and decision support based on the platform’s own capabilities, native R integration and third-party ML services integration to execute AI/ML algorithms

We are delighted that BARC has confirmed Board's high rating in the BARC Score for Integrated Planning & Analytics. The Board platform is predestined for this application area”, said Ansgar Eickeler, Area Manager DACH of Board International. “Board integrates financial and operational planning within the company and provides detailed analysis. Especially in a challenging economic environment, this provides a very good basis for managing companies successfully.
