As planners do we see time away from the operation mainly as a cost to control? Instead, how could we analyse where each different area of shrinkage time is adding value? We need to look from the colleague as well as the customer and commercial point of view. This webinar will look at how planners in a real-time environment need to consider these items and how this can change our decisions,
 - Be inspired by an award winning Tactical Planning Manager who demonstrated their success in our 2023 Planning Awards
 - Understand how decisions can affect adjacent measures to the ones we expected.
 - Hear the top takeaways from our awards judges from this year’s awards programme.

The purpose isn't to predict the future it is to prepare for the future. The one thing we can predict with confidence is that the future will be uncertain. 

In this webinar we will explore how to forecast uncertainty and have the right plans and playbooks in place to be prepared to deal with this.

The Forum is always looking for new and inspirational examples of organisations, teams and people raising standards and this year’s awards again demonstrated best-in-class examples of organisation innovation & transformation. This webinar will help you to learn more about the awards programme, including how to access the 68-short-listed finalists stories and hearing from the judges who supported the programme.
