Summary
Volatility is exposing the limits of traditional scenario planning, where siloed KPIs and thin operational margins prevent enterprises from seeing how disruptions cascade across forecasting, procurement, and operations. In this episode, Dr. Gopalendu Pal, Director of Operations at Target, joins us to examine how running hundreds of interconnected simulations enables leaders to understand enterprise‑level tradeoffs and make decisions that hold up under shifting demand and supply constraints. He highlights the need to simplify and stabilize core processes so that automation and AI strengthen decision‑making rather than amplify existing operational weaknesses.
