Driving enterprise-wide integrated planning at Synopsys
Wednesday, April 22, Imperial Ballroom

As business complexity rises, connected planning is becoming an enterprise capability—not just a finance initiative. In this session, leaders from Synopsys will share how they are connecting strategy, finance, sales, marketing, and strategic programs to improve alignment, increase agility, and support transformation at scale. The discussion will explore how Synopsys is modernizing planning across functions, navigating change in a large and evolving organization, and building the foundation for future capabilities such as integrated go-to-market planning and AI-enabled decision-making. Attendees will leave with practical lessons on driving adoption, sequencing change, and turning planning into a competitive advantage.
