Demand and financial planning, built together rather than in sequence.
THE CHALLENGE
Two problems arrived together: a demand planning process that had outgrown the tool it lived in, and financial planning that had never been connected to it. Handling them separately would have been simpler to scope and would have produced exactly the disconnect they were trying to leave behind.

WHAT WE DID
We didn't just lift the process across. Demand planning was redesigned for how Anaplan actually works, then built alongside revenue and OpEx planning as a single engagement rather than three. Four months, one connected model set, with the demand signal feeding the financial forecast instead of being reconciled against it afterwards.
One Engagement, Not Three
Demand, revenue and OpEx planning built together, not reconciled after the fact.
Redesigned, Not Ported
Demand planning rebuilt for how Anaplan actually works, not lifted across.
Connected From Day One
The demand signal feeds the financial forecast instead of being checked against it.
