The past three decades have ushered in a number of innovations that have transformed the way organisations make decisions, plan, drive and monitor business performance (ERP, Business Intelligence, Web Services, …).
However, optimising the allocation of present resources to current tasks and foreseeing the company's future activity and resource sizing remains a critical need for managers who have to meet several antagonistic expectations (customers, personnel, shareholders).
Furthermore, anticipating and managing the changes well is even more important as it gives the opportunity to adapt the structure of the company to the future market rules and environment.
At ISC, we are convinced that planning is one of the key processes directly affecting the essence of every organisation: activities, resources and profitability.
