How can the system help me generate promotional scenarios to cover the gap between forecasted baseline and top-down delivered target?

Imagine agreeing to a number without endless meetings, spreadsheets and emails, even establishing sales targets ahead of time so the field can monitor how close they are as they plan!. When sales teams are collaborating with RGM and Executive teams in the AOP process, they can initiate scenario planning to incorporate the Target, load the plan and ask the system to propose promotions that help close the gap. They can iterate and finalize the plan from different scenarios.
