Why Optiwiser Webinars?
Making Knowledge Transparent – So AI in Planning Becomes Understandable
AI is changing forecasting and supply chain planning. At the same time, many questions remain: What results are realistic? Which data is required? When do external factors help? And how can planners assess whether an AI forecast is actually better? Optiwiser webinars create space for exactly these questions and combine forecasting expertise with practical planning experience.
The goal is not to make AI sound complex – but to show planning teams where it can create clear, measurable value in their own processes.
