Last week, we hosted our webinar Scenario Lab: designing operations for an uncertain world, bringing together supply chain leaders to explore how organisations can build resilience and stay ahead in an increasingly volatile environment.
We were joined by a fantastic panel: Daniel Davis (Global Supply Chain Optimisation Manager from Castrol), Anna Mate (Research Associate, UK SCALE Centre, Loughborough Business School), and Gavin Schwarzenbach (Executive Advisor, Optilogic)
The discussion also included a live demo on Scenario Lab, showing how AI-powered scenario modelling is now simulates scenarios in minutes.
Watch the full webinar recording below.
Here are some of the key takeaways from the discussion:
- Volatility is the new normal. Overlapping disruptions are accelerating, making faster scenario modelling a critical competitive advantage
- Scenario modelling is no longer just periodic and strategic; it’s frequent and tactical. ‘What if’ scenarios are essential for building resilience and reducing costs
- Build the right foundations. Data, people, and technology all need to be in place together; gaps in any one area will limit your progress
- Pair business knowledge with technical expertise. Mixed teams consistently produce better, more actionable outcomes
- AI is lowering the barrier. What used to take weeks can now be done in days, with business users at the forefront, but human judgment remains essential
- Scenario modelling complements your advanced planning systems. Use it to evaluate decisions and test resilience, then implement through your APS
If you’d like to explore how any of this applies to your organisation, we’d love to continue the conversation. In July, we are hosting a roundtable breakfast event in London for a deeper conversation on this topic. To register your interest, please complete the form below:
