Advanced planning systems have evolved through major technological shifts, from legacy systems to enterprise platforms, and from on-premises software to SaaS. Now AI is ushering in the next transformation. As planning moves from fixed cycles toward continuous, AI-enabled decision making, the shift could fundamentally change what it means to plan. But turning AI capabilities into enterprise impact is another challenge entirely. 
 
In this Voices On episode of McKinsey Talks Operations, our deep-dive series featuring expert perspectives on the topics shaping operations today, host Daphne Luchtenberg speaks with Andrew Shih, Principal Product Manager at McKinsey’s QuantumBlack, AI by McKinsey, and Mike Raftery, Senior Global Asset Lead for Digital Supply Chain at McKinsey. Together, they explore what AI could make possible for planning, how the role of the planner may change, and what leaders should prioritize as they prepare for the next era of planning.
