Every organisation sits on a mountain of data, builds new platforms, and experiments with AI. Yet the key question remains: how much of this activity creates value that leaders can see and measure? Data in isolation delivers little; without clear decisions, it clutters rather than clarifies. The task is shifting from stockpiling information to making better, faster decisions that scale across every channel and moment that matters. How to close the gap between data investments and business outcomes? Which decisions should be centralised, and which remain distributed? What role should AI and automation play in orchestrating relevance?

Unilever is one of the world’s leading multinational consumer goods companies, with a wide array of products in categories such as food, beverages, cleaning agents, and personal care. Their commitment to innovation and sustainability drives their continuous search for ways to enhance operational efficiency and consumer satisfaction. The Challenge? Unilever faced the significant challenge of predicting sales in an ever-changing market environment. With countless variables influencing demand, from promotional activities to economic shifts, developing accurate forecasts that could help optimize production and inventory levels became increasingly difficult. Traditional forecasting methods were often too slow to react to rapid changes in consumer behavior, leading to inefficiencies in supply chain management and potential missed opportunities.
The solution?
Leveraging AI to transform sales forecasting.
To address this challenge, Unilever partnered with us to design a cutting-edge sales forecasting solution powered by AI. Our team developed a system based on advanced machine learning algorithms that could analyze large datasets from various sources, including historical sales data, promotional schedules, and external factors like market trends and seasonality.
The AI model provided Unilever with more precise sales predictions, accounting for both short-term fluctuations and long-term trends. The solution was also designed to be scalable, allowing for continuous learning and improvement as new data became available.
The results?
Improved accuracy and efficiency across the supply chain.
Reduction of 3% in shelf time production. This ensures manufacturing on demand and results in enormous optimisations.
With the implementation of this AI-powered sales forecasting tool, Unilever experienced a significant improvement in forecast accuracy, which led to better decision-making and more streamlined operations.
Key benefits included:
By integrating AI into their sales forecasting process, Unilever not only gained operational efficiencies but also strengthened their ability to adapt to the evolving needs of consumers.

Kalman Tiboldi - CTO & Founder at GemOne-TVH - Simplify or Die: Why Complexity Is the Real IT Challenge
The role of the CIO has evolved from managing systems to shaping outcomes: growth, resilience, and competitive edge are now won or lost in the technology arena. Today ’ s CIOs must balance stability with innovation, control costs while attracting scarce talent, and modernise legacy infrastructure while adopting emerging technologies.
As AI transitions from a specialised tool to an all-pervasive force, understanding its profound implications for our human lives is no longer merely academic but an urgent imperative for social well-being and strategic preparedness.
Geopolitical tensions have dominated the headlines for over two years now. In this context, the cyber threat landscape is also evolving rapidly. The protection and security of critical infrastructure – both physical and digital – is becoming increasingly important.
