Signal Scenario planning (30%) and agile governance (28%) lead the actions for managing uncertainty

Summary

Deloitte asked finance leaders which actions matter most for handling uncertainty more effectively. Strengthening advanced scenario planning came first at 30%, followed by creating more agile governance to enable quicker decisions at 28%. Together these two answers mean 58% of respondents prioritize better anticipation or faster response. Using AI-driven insight to improve decisions drew 25%, and investing in dedicated risk management teams 18%, a combined 43% favoring AI or specialist teams. The same two leading capabilities also top the list of what respondents say they need to make better capital-allocation choices. The results suggest that finance teams see foresight and decision speed, rather than new units alone, as the foundation of resilience.
