Insights

At Integratos, we believe that knowledge should be shared — not shelved. We drive insight beyond the boardroom through published books, curated industry surveys, executive education, and short-form videos designed to inform and inspire.

Whether it’s The Leadership Development Star, practical toolkits, or video briefings tailored for business leaders, our aim is to equip organisations with the clarity and confidence to lead through complexity.

We don’t just deliver services — we contribute to the thinking that shapes them.

The Leadership Development Star

Discover five essential pillars of leadership with The Leadership Development Star—designed for aspiring and emerging managers.

This book breaks down the core elements of effective leadership—People Management, Strategy, Integration, Managing New Initiatives, and Value Chain Analysis—within an innovative five-point star framework.

Drawing from years of experience and real-world insights, Mikael Hatzis, has crafted The Leadership Development Star to provide emerging leaders with practical strategies, actionable tools, and inspiring anecdotes to help them navigate the complexities of modern management.

Whether you're stepping into leadership for the first time or looking to refine your skills, this book serves as a roadmap to success.

Here’s a brief video that breaks down some of the key components of Demand Management and Forecasting.

The Art of Integrated Business Planning

How does a business make the best decisions possible, consistent with its strategy and goals? How does it actively prepare for future opportunities and vulnerabilities? And how does it synchronise the organisation to one game plan that deliver a competitive advantage?

The Art of Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is the culmination of over 25 years experience, partnering with some of the world's best organisations.

It sets out and defines the case for a fundamental business discipline called Business Integration.

Armed with this knowledge a business can focus on excellence and deliver strategy, and a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Rise of AI in Planning, IBP & Systems

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept — it's here, and it's beginning to reshape the foundations of how organisations plan, decide, and execute. From accelerating supply chain responsiveness to unlocking new levels of productivity and challenging the role of traditional ERP systems, AI is poised to transform Integrated Business Planning (IBP) and operational decision-making as we know it.

While AI is still in its early stages — much like the internet once was — its trajectory is undeniable. In this article that I published in recently in Supply Chain Management Review, explores the potential impact of AI on people, processes, and systems. It offers early insights into how organisations might rethink their planning frameworks and what leaders need to consider as AI evolves from experimentation to enterprise-scale application.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective IBP 

As part of our commitment to advancing organisational performance, Integratos has launched a new thought leadership survey: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Business Integration.

This research explores the shared behaviours, mindsets, and practices of companies that consistently succeed in aligning strategy with execution.

Drawing insights from senior leaders across industries, the survey reveals what truly differentiates high-performing, integrated organisations — from decision-making discipline and cross-functional alignment to trust, rhythm, and accountability.

It’s not just a checklist — it’s a blueprint for integration that sticks.
