FAILURE: IBP change programs can deploy software faster than decision rights

An IBP transformation can go live technically while planners, commercial teams and finance still use different decision rules.

What is exposed

  • forecast approval;
  • scenario selection;
  • inventory and service trade-offs;
  • ownership of overrides;
  • escalation thresholds.

What leaders should monitor

  • decision-rights adoption, not only training completion;
  • use of the official planning version;
  • manual workarounds after go-live;
  • meeting cadence and named owners;
  • measurable decision outcomes.

The Dataleo angle

Change management is part of the decision architecture. A planning platform is not operational until users share the same authority, process and active version of the plan.
