When it comes to managing finances or making large decisions for an organization, data is of the utmost importance to help guide your decisions and give you insights on what to expect after the decision is made. Whether you’re managing day-to-day finances, making a decision on pricing, choosing who to partner with, or even creating deal negotiations, having data to back each decision is the safest way to play. In this session, Scott Luton and Supply Chain Now welcome Laren Sidhu and Oisín Cooke with Enable and Charlotte Rodgers with DCS as they go over the importance of data and the impact that a data-driven decision can make for your organization, both now and in the future. They’ll also review how to visualize your data to make more informed decisions, and how to best utilize the data that you’ve found so you can set your organization up for greater success as you grow.

Today’s ecosystem is fraught with volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (vuca) brought on by 2+ years of COVID, the war in Ukraine and multiple socio-political factors. Demand Planners carry the huge responsibility to navigate their organization through these difficult times but are left with traditional tools, starting from the assumption that the past will repeat itself. However, research conducted over the past two years indicate that demand forecasting investments made in AI-based platforms can return up to 6 times greater benefits over investments made in traditional planning systems.   This raises a few questions: Should planners autonomously embrace these new technologies to guide their organization through change? What changes can AI bring to an organization’s planning environment? How will it impact demand planning roles, and will humans be able to stay in control?   In this webinar, experts from Garvis will discuss this topic together with Robert Byrne, the inventor of “Demand Sensing”. They will bring more clarity to these questions and talk about the potential behind a new generation of AI planning solutions.
