Your CEO calls on a Sunday. There’s a new tariff, a customer just went dark, a cost just spiked. She asks what it does to next quarter. What’s your honest answer, “give me a few days,” or “give me twenty minutes”? Join Heather L. Cole, one of only 32 IBM Lifetime Champions worldwide and Founder/CEO of Lodestar Solutions, for a free, CPE-credited session on building a scenario-planning process that’s ready before disruption hits, not scrambled together after. With tariffs, volatility, and demand uncertainty topping CFO concerns for the back half of 2026, this session is for finance leaders tired of rebuilding the same analysis from scratch every time something changes.

What you’ll walk away with:

● Why single-point forecasts leave you flat-footed the moment conditions shift

● A repeatable framework for maintaining 3-5 live scenarios without rebuilding from zero each time

● How to move from “give me until Thursday” to a same-day answer

● A live look at scenario toggling in a real planning system, powered by IBM Planning Analytics

● A free take-home 3-Scenario Starter Canvas, no strings attached
