Plan better with o9 Solutions
Do you remember when manufacturers relied on large PowerPoint decks to run the planning and business performance review meetings? Unfortunately, those decks were largely ineffective in answering questions regarding the root causes of gaps, actions being taken to close the gaps, and financial trade-offs. Which led to delayed decisions. What executives really needed was real-time information to make critical business decisions.
