Worst Practices in Forecasting: Part 2
Applying Business Analytics Webinar Series
On-Demand Webcast
Please join SAS for the final installment in our series designed to identify forecasting worst practices and explain how to eliminate them from your organization.
Part 2 will examine broader business practices that negatively affect forecasting and overall financial performance.
Mike Gilliland, CFPIM, SAS' Product Marketing Manager for Forecasting, will cover worst practices such as:
- Allowing politics and management “wishes” to contaminate the forecasting process.
- Blaming the forecast for all business woes – and failing to address other business practices that are causing volatility.
- Over-investing in the forecasting function – assuming that all business problems can be solved by more elaborate forecasting.
- Focusing solely on forecast accuracy while ignoring forecast bias and process efficiency.
We hope you’ll tune in for this valuable Webcast.
