In the fifth white paper in our series, “Deploying Strategy with Integrated Business Planning,” Oliver Wight’s Chris Groven and Daniel Meier consider the role of the fourth step in the monthly IBP process – The Integrated Reconciliation Review (IRR).

This paper explores how the IRR reviews, filters, and refines outputs from the three previous IBP process reviews, financials, and other relevant information to prepare them for elevation to the next stage of the process, the Management Business Review (MBR). It explains how a successful IRR is critical in enabling the executive team to make the required decisions about the long-term business strategy effectively and efficiently in the MBR.
