People
Having right people is essential when it comes to the Connected Planning. It is anyone who is involved in the decision-making process from top management to operational positions. They need to be connected, and Connected Planning is a process that brings people together to collaborate and make decisions. It is important that people understand the power of collective decision making based on facts and analysis.
Data
Data is the flow of drivers that go across different use cases that really make up Connected Planning. In this journey, central hub should be considered, this can be enterprise data warehouse or an Anaplan hub. Data is one of the fundamental drivers in the Anaplan Way, so planners have to start thinking about data right up front, paying their attention to data accuracy and cleanliness.
System

This can include the integration with other systems, or use of predictive analysis and machine learning as the most useful capabilities of planning technology. Better planning technology can produce better business outcomes. This means that the adoption of a cloud-based Connected Planning platform is critical.
