SAP IBP is a powerful platform, but many companies struggle to upskill their teams in a way that delivers practical business value. Standard SAP training often lacks real-world context, leaving users unable to apply what they’ve learned effectively. Organizations needed structured, targeted learning, especially for demand, supply, and S&OP processes.
1. Challenge Overview
Lack of Practical Training
- Many companies received theoretical training with little connection to real-life use cases.
- Business users couldn’t translate classroom knowledge into operational improvements.
Fragmented Training Delivery
- Training was often inconsistent across regions and teams, limiting adoption.
- There was no structured enablement for key users with real data and relevant exercises.
2. Solution
Custom SAP IBP Training Programs
- Delivered 10+ company-specific training sessions across the DACH region (DE, AT, CH) on behalf of SAP.
- Built training around live challenges from demand planning, supply planning, and S&OP workflows.
