> But someone still needs to connect teams, challenge the numbers, and drive decisions using AI as a decision accelerator.

> The S&OP / IBP leader sits at the crossroads of humans and machines — translating data into action and making collaboration happen.

> This role isn’t disappearing. It’s becoming one of the most strategic in any organization.

“As someone who’s been in S&OP for years, this program changed how I think about it. It connected strategy, process, and people in a way I hadn’t seen before. The focus on executive engagement and scenario planning is what makes S&OP and IBP a strategic driver, not a reporting exercise. I walked away with fresh tools and real conviction. Highly recommend Edouard and his team.”

No specific experience level is required. Whether you are new to S&OP / IBP or already experienced, the program starts from the beginning and builds up step by step.

Working in operations, planning, supply chain, or a related field is recommended to get the most out of the course. We keep things simple and increase the level of expertise gradually.

All you need: a stable internet connection and Microsoft Excel. We also use AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or Claude during some lessons. They are recommended but not mandatory.

Once your payment is confirmed, you get immediate access to our private member platform, mobile app, community, and all 119 micro lessons.

Every tool, template, and assessment is downloadable right away. You can start learning and applying the method today.

You also get access to our personalized support if you have any questions along the way.

The program is made of short micro lessons of a few minutes each. You watch them at your own pace, whenever you want.

I record my screen and show exactly how I built S&OP / IBP processes from scratch in complex organizations. Some bonus episodes are live sessions recorded with experts that you can also watch on replay.

A few times a year, I also host live sessions where I share the latest trends and best practices only for members.

And if you get stuck or have questions, my team and I are available to answer by video or in writing.

119 micro episodes. 15+ hours of content. Plus the time to implement our method in your company.

We know you are busy. That’s why everything is designed for you to progress at your own pace. Some members complete it in a few weeks. Others take several months because they start implementing tools and methods right away, like assessments and kickoffs.

The program is designed to last 8 weeks (3 hours/week) or 4 weeks (6 hours/week) for fast learners.

You get lifetime access, so you can come back to any lesson whenever you need it.

Throughout the program, you have access to our team and to Edouard personally, Monday to Friday, for any question about the method.

We can answer by text, or record a video when the topic is more complex. Everything stays confidential.

You won’t be alone. We’ve already supported over 2000+ experts and we are confident we can answer the vast majority of your questions. Most are already covered in the program.

Please note: this support covers questions related to the method. It is not unlimited consulting. If you need hands-on consulting or group training for your team, our team can help. Contact us here.

You can join on the day and not start the program for several weeks or months. Start at your own pace. However, I recommend that you devote at least 1 to 3 hours a week to the program to get quick results.

The resources (videos, tools, downloadable files) will be available immediately after your payment has been confirmed and available for life.

The certificate, Excel and Power Point, Mind Map downloads will be also available for life.
