Operating in Uncertainty: Building Resilient, AI-Enabled Supply Chains
Over the past year, executives have increasingly shifted focus from improving forecasts to making resilient decisions in environments where assumptions change rapidly due to demand volatility, geopolitical disruption, regulatory shifts, and accelerating technology change… especially AI-driven infrastructure growth.
This session explores how leading organizations are responding in practice, including:
- Moving from traditional forecasting to decision-making under continuous uncertainty
- Redesigning supply chains for resilience, including shifts from “just-in-time” to “just-in-case” strategies
- Managing explosive demand growth from AI and data center expansion and its impact on long-lead equipment and capacity constraints
- Navigating geopolitical disruption and supply concentration risks through diversification and scenario planning
- Addressing organizational silos, unclear risk ownership, and the need for unified risk management across functions
- Strengthening readiness for systemic shocks such as cloud outages and cross-functional operational dependency failures
Join industry leaders for a forward-looking discussion on how organizations are adapting to a new era of persistent uncertainty across global supply chains, energy systems, and infrastructure planning.
