The operating framework for permanent uncertainty
Structured Agility™ is Sunstice’s operating framework for Supply Chain Planning and RGM.
It is designed to help organizations adapt and perform under permanent uncertainty.
Structured Agility™ is the logic that defines how planning decisions are structured, connected, and evolved over time when conditions never fully stabilize.
Why an Operating Framework Is Needed
Most planning approaches were designed for a more stable world. They rely on sequential cycles, predefined horizons, and periodic replanning. In permanent uncertainty, these assumptions break.
An operating framework is required to ensure planning can:
Disruptions are now instantly systemic.
decisions
Conditions change faster than plans can be executed.
Trade-offs must be made continuously, under pressure.
Structured Agility™ in One Principle
Performance does not come from choosing between structure and agility. It comes from deliberately combining both.
Structure brings direction, governance, and coherence.
Agility enables speed, adaptation, and responsiveness.
Structured Agility™ defines how these two dimensions work together by design.
Structured Agility™ is expressed through five core capability pillars
Each pillar reflects what planning must be able to do when uncertainty is permanent.
Together, they form one coherent system.
See change before it hits.
Decide before you’re forced to.
Adapt direction without losing momentum.
Act fast. Stay in control.
Steer profitable growth.
One Framework, One Coherent System
These five pillars do not operate independently. They are designed to reinforce one another.
Together, they enable organizations to:
- absorb disruption without fragmenting,
- anticipate change instead of reacting to it,
- and arbitrate trade-offs deliberately across time horizons and decision domains.
This is how organizations adapt and perform when conditions never fully stabilize.
From Operating Framework to Platform
Structured Agility™ becomes real through the Sunstice platform.It is embedded directly into how:
- data is structured,
- decisions are connected,
- technologies are applied,
- and solutions scale across supply chain planning and revenue growth management.
