Gain an in-depth view of how to keep your executives focused on the strategic horizon while spending less time on crisis management

"As Global IBP lead for Fonterra, the fantastic part of our Integrated Tactical Planning process is it just happens, and I can have confidence that the short-term plans are being well managed by the right people in our organization. With ITP managing the short-term, our executives can focus their efforts on the longer-term and strategic plans—exactly where they should be. I've worked in organizations both with ITP and without it, and as an IBP practitioner, I wouldn't be without it. I highly recommend this book for those who are grappling with how to ensure great execution, while keeping the longer term top of mind."
