In this exclusive Gartner presentation, Misty Alexander, Executive Leader in Insights, Analytics, Strategy & Innovation at Kimberly-Clark, shares how one of the world's largest consumer goods companies reinvented forecasting using AI, external market signals and econometric modelling.

Rather than improving reports, Kimberly-Clark transformed forecasting into a trusted enterprise capability that drives better commercial decisions across finance, marketing, supply chain, and executive leadership.

Within 2%
forecast accuracy achieved of actual demand
$10M+
in savings delivered through improved forecasting
$1.3M
safety stock reduction per 1% improvement in forecast accuracy

Kimberly-Clark operates in more than 175 countries, serves one in four people globally, manages $20B+ in annual sales, and holds the #1 or #2 market position across 70 countries. When forecasting improves at this scale, the impact extends far beyond analytics — it transforms how the business plans, invests and grows.

What You'll Learn
In just 20 minutes, you'll discover how Kimberly-Clark:
Improved forecast accuracy to within 2% of actual demand
Delivered more than $10M in savings while reducing safety stock by $1.3M for every 1% improvement in forecast accuracy
Built an explainable AI forecasting framework trusted across the entire organisation
Replaced manual, Excel-based forecasting with AI-powered econometric models
Uses more than 8 million external market signals to identify the true drivers of consumer demand
Aligns finance, marketing, supply chain and commercial teams around a single source of truth
