In addition to Synapsid’s IBP Implementation Methodology, we leverage the following when engaging with clients:

​
​Synapsid uses an industry consensus approach to Integrated Business Planning and a best practices aligned IBP Maturity Model to co-create and execute Supply Chain Planning Transformation Roadmaps with clients. 
 

​​Synapsid’s Industry Content is a collection of predesigned elements that extend IBP’s Unified Planning Area and SAP’s Best Practices for IBP, allowing us to rapidly tailor SAP IBP to clients’ industry and firm specific needs.

​
​Synapsid leverages domain specific research from dozens of thought leaders and research institutions.  We take a scientist / practitioner view of Supply Chain Planning and ground our practice in empirical research wherever possible.

​​Pragmatic Models are models that are useful in achieving an objective. They are as simple as possible and as accurate as needed.   Beyond industry standard models of IBP/SIOP/S&OP, Synapsid uses models adapted from Design Thinking, Agile, Operations Research and Data Science, Complex Adaptive Systems, Financial Analysis and other areas.
