Hi @YYLee
First of all thanks for running this session with @ChrisWeiss
I have many questions to ask!
I will be fair and ask the most important one to me and my organisation which is broad and I have listed my views on this so it would be good to hear from your experience.
"How do we really achieve true connected planning in gigantic organisations where the scale is immense?" (I know very broad but this is the aim of most organisations or at least what the vision is).
As you mention the DNA is within the business models and all models in most cases from function to function are different with different methods.
So already it is very challenging environment to create a uniform view (one DNA). So to achieve true connected planning there needs to be an evolution to combine into one plan. This is a big change management piece!
- Is there a customer story you can share that has truly achieved connected planning?
What does this one plan look like?
Is the best approach implementing use case by use case and connecting the dots? (My organisations current approach)
Do we start with data first? (a data lake in my opinion is always best as you have the one source of truth, unfortunately we didn't do this 😞 )
What does the future look like?
What are the biggest challenges?
My organisation is one of the largest conglomerates in EMEA and maybe the world.
They own over 200 retail brands and trade across, retail, automotive, real estate, healthcare and financial services sectors.
The geography spans EMEA & Asia & Aus & more
Currently we have one main use case in Anaplan (which is a monster) due to go live soon for our retail business and we want to expand to models across all sectors and connect the dots!
The aim is to truly achieve connected planning at scale!
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Also if anyone has any opinions on this please share.
Thanks,
Usman
