Session 11: The Human Side of AI
AI is transforming how organizations plan and operate—but what about the human side of this revolution?
AI brings speed, scale, and precision. Humans bring intuition, creativity, and context. Both have strengths—and both have limitations. AI can hallucinate; humans can be biased. The real question: How do we combine the best of both worlds?
Traditional processes like S&OP and IBP were built with care, but they’re slow and iterative. The stakes are too high—and the potential of AI too great—to settle for incremental change.
In This Session, You’ll Learn:
- The strengths and blind spots of AI and human judgment
- When to trust AI—and when human intuition matters most
- How to redesign planning for real value creation
- Why shifting control closer to the controlled accelerates smarter decisions
When humans and machines collaborate under thoughtful supervision, organizations unlock a massive leap in performance and profitability.

Session 3: Insight-Based Demand Planning:
Planners in Charge of AI
Demand planning should be controlled by the planner, but tasks like history cleaning and algorithm tuning should be handled by AI designed for demand planning. You need the right AI environment, not a team of data scientists. AI improves accuracy, but the real value is in the insights it provides. Understanding the “why” behind the data is crucial.
AI allows direct interaction with external events and customer information, integrating data from various sources. These insights, expressed in natural language, are interactable with generative AI, enabling planners to engage directly with forecasting algorithms.
Instead of tuning AI, planners can communicate their knowledge to the AI, allowing it to learn. Minimal tuning is required, even as information changes.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- How planners can control AI to navigate data
- How to interact directly with AI in demand planning
- How to collaborate with other parts of the organization
- How to incorporate events, promotions, and other information into your planning

Session 4: Demand Sensing: Why Is This Crucial and Poorly Understood?
Demand sensing is a powerful yet often misunderstood tool. Unlike traditional demand planning, which predicts future demand, demand sensing focuses on immediate trends, reducing forecast errors by 30% or more by analyzing orders, inventory, and sell-out data.
It’s easy to implement if you have open order information. Start with orders and add inventory and sell-out data if available, but always combine them with orders.
Demand sensing examines order patterns and can include inventory or sell-out insights. This approach can reduce forecast errors by 30% to 40%, translating to a significant reduction in safety stock.
In this session, you will learn:
- How demand sensing works
- The data behind it
- How to integrate it into your demand planning
