Brilliant Brain Child
In our latest Silly Decisions story, we see how a lack of data clarity can cause a human resources headache, even when your business is thriving…
A local nursery is proving popular, with a real demand for places. Taking on new children means they’ll need new staff too. So the team plans a recruitment drive. Except…
Disconnected planning means their capacity data just isn’t granular enough, only giving them weekly averages. Which means they don’t realise that many of their parents work part time, leaving the nursery quieter on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Without that knowledge, they recruit new staff right across the working week, paying people to twiddle their thumbs on those quieter days. So even though they’re a thriving business with great potential, they end up wasting money, with a difficult staffing problem to resolve.
These things happen, and it’s not hard to see why. But with integrated business planning (IBP), organisations can improve visibility, understand the impact of their actions and make decisions that make sense for everyone.
