Closing the knowing-doing gap
Professor Jan Stentoft
We are well aware of the challenges we face, yet often remain passive in addressing them. In business, employees often grasp the nature of these challenges but struggle to take meaningful action, a phenomenon commonly known as the ‘knowing-doing gap.’ This presentation approaches the knowing-doing gap from the context of Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) to offer practical strategies to bridge this divide effectively.

12.00 – 13.00

Adjust your team’s mindset – Key Behavioral Indicators
Professor Jan Stentoft
S&OP is aimed at balancing supply and demand. Typical participants come from Sales, Operations, Product Development, Finance, and IT. But each function pursues their own KPIs, which leads to sub-optimisation and non-compliance. This presentation introduces the concept of key behavioural indicators as a complement to KPIs, where the focus is on individual and group behaviour in the S&OP process.

Lunch – Delight your palate with an array of delicious hot and cold buffet options.
