To be successful in a changing world, organisations must make the switch from static planning to continuous planning.

Continuous planning can help achieve agility and enables you to listen to all your data across goals, performance, processes, resources, customers, competitors, and the wider market.

While static planning is top-down, siloed, slow, and limited, continuous planning is:

• Collaborative: an inclusive, horizontal exercise, it benefits from company-wide participation. It empowers your teams and operational leaders to create functional plans optimised for your on-the-ground reality.
• Comprehensive: high-fidelity and cross-functional, it explicitly builds visibility into operational models at every level across your organisation. It builds better visibility and understanding by creating a ‘model of models’. Able to handle large volumes of operational and financial data, the system can help improve the accuracy of your plans and ensure that planning is well aligned with execution.
• Continuous: for truly fast, flexible, and iterative decision making in a volatile market, planning must be fuelled by a constant stream of trusted data, from across the business. This needs to be integrated into an easily consumable format to allow you to update strategies and plan dynamically as conditions change. You’ll also be able to analyse results in real time – leading to better, faster and more informed decisions and course corrections.
