# Scenario Planning and Agile Governance Are Only as Strong as the Data Underpinning Them: 3 Actions Top Executives and Board Leaders Can Take to Help Safeguard Data Credibility

Deloitte Insights warns that as 60% of executives now use AI to support decisions, flawed or synthetic data silently corrupts every downstream model, forecast, and strategic scenario — yet only 5% of organizations are taking meaningful steps to address data quality decline. The piece prescribes three board-level actions to make scenario planning defensible: tiering data sources by reliability, defining explicit fitness-for-purpose thresholds, and adding data credibility as a standalone risk line item on the board agenda. For SEA boards relying on AI-assisted decision tools, this is an actionable checklist to avoid garbage-in, garbage-out strategic decisions.
