Scenario Planning: Anticipate More Futures

How many futures can your supply chain realistically prepare for?

Most Scenario Planning still starts with a forecast and asks: if demand changes, how should we respond? But in permanent uncertainty, the challenge starts earlier. Tariffs, disruptions, market shifts, promotions and unexpected opportunities can all reshape demand before you even get to the response.

The problem is scale. The more risks and opportunities you consider, the more possible futures you create. And for every future, there may be several ways for your supply chain to respond. Very quickly, the number of scenarios becomes impossible for a planning team to explore manually.

You cannot predict which future will happen. But you can dramatically increase the number of futures you are prepared to face.

In this episode of The Decision Room | In Practice, discover through a demonstration how Agentic AI can help you explore, simulate and compare a much broader range of scenarios, while keeping human judgment where it matters most: deciding which trade-offs make sense for your business and which scenario you are ultimately prepared to execute.

Because the goal of Scenario Planning is no longer to predict the future better. It is to be ready for more of them.

The session will be hosted by Naïri Kurdoghlian, Chief Marketing Officer, with Sunstice experts Yacine Zeroual, Chief Executive Officer, and Gilles Lefebvre, Chief Product and R&D Officer.

Who should attend

• Supply Chain Planning and S&OP leaders who need to prepare their organization for disruptions, risks and opportunities they cannot predict.

• Demand Planning and Supply Planning teams looking for a more structured way to bring external events into their scenarios.

• Planning transformation, AI and IT teams exploring how agentic AI can expand scenario planning while keeping governance and human control.

What you will learn

You will see how scenario planning built for permanent uncertainty helps planning teams:

• Explore possible futures, not only possible responses to a single forecast

• Turn risks and opportunities into structured planning inputs, with a clear scope, period and impact

• Understand why the number of scenarios quickly exceeds human capacity, and how AI expands what can be explored

• Keep human judgment where strategy defines what “best” means

Built on the Sunstice Structured Agility® operating framework, Scenario Planning becomes less about choosing between a few scenarios, and more about making more of uncertainty actionable.
