STOP CHASING HEADLINES AND TWEETS: Planning Through the Chaos: Tariffs and Price Hikes

Everyone’s talking about tariffs, and price hikes are already hitting. In this episode, I break down what’s really happening behind the headlines and constantly changing policies from the oval office and how it impacts demand planning, forecasting, and inventory strategy.

We’ll unpack the ripple effects of guaranteed price increases, what the data are actually telling us, and why chasing the news cycle can break your planning process. Most importantly, I’ll share practical steps you can take right now to plan in the unknown, without panic, overreaction, or waste.

If you’re in supply chain, S&OP, or demand planning, you can’t afford to just react, let’s talk about how to lead instead.
