4 THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE Natural Business Intelligence. Businesses are like living organisms. They must constantly change in size, shape and appearance. To do so they need sound structures that can adapt while also forming a sturdy backbone. The fundamental purpose and objectives of a business are like the roots and trunk of a stout tree. Internal business processes are like branches. They grow with time. They branch out and give the business momentum. This is why Corporate Planning has modelled itself on the natural world, developing its software according to the architecture of the tree. 6 CP Corporate Planning 7

5 THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE THE PRINCIPLE OF THE TREE The CP tree a structure rooted in experience Ever since its first version, we have been developing our software in a tree structure. That's why we like talking about our "CP tree" so much. The tree has been the central element in all our solutions to this day. Every tree has its origin in its roots. Modelled on nature Trees instead of tables We have been following the principle of the natural world for nearly thirty years. With our software in the architecture of the tree, we strengthen businesses on an ongoing basis and get them ready for future challenges. Give us a call and we'll show you how much certainty our solution can bring to your business. Let us discover how you can use our flexibility to add new momentum to your business management and make better decisions. Our solutions for business management arrange your data into a hierarchy. This is how the human brain thinks: starting from one point, our thoughts branch out into ever greater detail which is also precisely how trees grow. That's why we do not depict business interrelationships in cubes but instead in the architecture of trees. Thanks to this approach, anyone can use our software and understand where the results come from. 8 9
