Start with what will change in your business. A new market may require a different demand planning approach. A product launch increases uncertainty about inventory and capacity. An acquisition brings new systems, teams, and planning practices.

For each priority, identify the decisions planning must support and the activities required. Consider workload, expertise, technology, and decision authority together. An illustrative example: adding a production site might need temporary planning capacity during transition, specialist advice on shared processes, and training for new responsibilities.

One intervention rarely covers every need. Review patterns from the past year-where did the team repeatedly struggle? Which decisions took too long? This connects capability gaps to the business priorities you're pursuing.
