The goal of IBP is to increase the organizations financial return and improve its strategic position. Unlike many business and technology three-letter acronyms, IBP means exactly what it says: Its about planning (not just budgeting) across an entire business (not just one department, business unit or function) in an integrated fashion. IBP incorporates advanced planning techniques, including driver-based planning, rapid planning cycles and rolling-quarters time frames. The paper investigates the planning practices and needs of individuals and organizations as well as the potential benefits from improving their existing processes, information and systems.
