Develop demand consensus forecast
How develop demand consensus forecast are reshaped as AGI capability advances.
The bottom line
Roughly 85% of the work in Develop demand consensus forecast is information-shaped — already within reach of AI delivery. The question here is not whether it shifts, but which tasks go first and who staffs the residual.
Why: Weighing the APQC process description ('Arriving at a consensus over the forecasted levels of demand', 'juxtaposing decisions', and 'collaborating with customers') alongside the 'Plan for and align supply chain resources' lens prior, this process is entirely analytical and communicative. Despite the physical supply chain context, forecasting and consensus-building are remote-capable knowledge work activities executed via data analysis and communication tools, pushing the scalar solidly into the digital band.
