Part of the Platform Imperative Webcast Series

“Worst practices” can plague any forecasting process. But what are forecasting worst practices and their unsavory consequences? This Webcast series will expose common business practices that can actually worsen your forecasts and will explain how you can eliminate them to improve forecasting performance.

Do any of these describe the forecasting process at your organization?

• Unrealistic accuracy expectations and inappropriate performance targets
• Overworked and demoralized forecasting staff
• Too much time and money spent on forecasting, yet unsatisfactory results
• Management distrust of, and tampering with, the forecasting process
• The forecast is blamed for all business woes

If so, don't miss this two-part series, featuring Mike Gilliland, CFPIM, SAS' product marketing manager for forecasting. Part 1 will explore worst practices relating to the mechanics of forecasting, including statistical model selection and fitting, performance evaluation, and forecasting software selection.

Part 2 will examine broader business practices that negatively impact forecasting and overall financial performance. 

We hope you’ll join us for this important series.
