Anti-Patterns

Anti-patterns are recurring mistakes that seem like good ideas at the time but consistently undermine IBP implementations.

Anti-patterns
Technology Before Process

"We need a planning tool" is often the first sentence in an IBP journey. It's also the most expensive way to start.

Anti-patterns
Missing Executive Sponsorship

IBP without sustained executive involvement doesn't fail dramatically. It just slowly becomes irrelevant.

Anti-patterns
The Spreadsheet Trap

Spreadsheets are the right tool to start IBP. The trap is not knowing when to stop.

Anti-patterns
Siloed Planning Functions

The "I" in IBP stands for integrated. When functions plan independently and then argue about whose numbers are right, that letter is just decoration.
