The real goal of Connected Planning is to have a material impact on business performance, to standardize on one management operating system across an organization - for better performance visibility, execution, accountability, and organizational flexibility. What if you had a stretch goal of using Connected Planning not just for performance management, but for OUT-performance management?

Ron Dimon’s thought-leading second edition of the book originally entitled Enterprise Performance Management Done Right, is a practical roadmap for using Connected Planning to develop an agile organization and to navigate the complex Enterprise Performance Management landscape.

According to esteemed author, researcher, and Management professor Dr. Christopher Neck, “In the same way that one needs to be self-leading to finish a grueling marathon, an organization must be self-leading in order to execute on its plans in an efficient and effective manner. What drives self-leadership at all levels in an organization? The people within the organization of course - and those people must be involved in the planning occurring in an organization. Without a plan, an organization has no direction.”

Who Should Read This Book?
This book is for CFOs, CIOs, their direct reports, and any organizational visionary or aspiring leader who wants to “bring it all together” and create an actionable vision and plan for improving readiness and performance. The book is also intended for managers who want to understand Connected Planning and how it can help them be better managers. My hope is that any student of planning and forecasting can learn and apply at least a few ideas from this book.

Connected Planning is essentially about three things to help you improve your management operating system:

1. A Framework. This is the management operating system for your business and shows how all of the pieces of Connected Planning work together as one holistic process. It is most useful as a long-term, high-level Connected Planning vision.

2. Enabling Technologies. Within the framework, I show what pieces you need to put into place to deliver on the necessary planning processes and how to connect them.

3. A Fresh Planning Roadmap. This is insight on how to prioritize all those potential planning and forecasting initiatives given your strategic business objectives, and how they are supported by enabling technologies, eventually being fulfilled on your aspirational Connected Planning framework.
