Fundamental Forecasting Pains
Part of the Platform Imperative Webcast Series

How can you ensure the quality and precision of your forecasts, as well as ensure you are executing your forecasting process efficiently? Human judgment in forecasting is a hot topic because it is both risky and beneficial. Applying human judgment to the process can potentially skew the results – making forecasts less trustworthy and less objective. At the same time, human knowledge of the business processes and drivers is often essential in creating a truly useful forecast.

These three Webcasts will discuss the pros and cons of injecting judgment into the forecasting process, so that viewers will have a better understanding of how to eliminate the flaws that sacrifice accuracy and efficiency. You'll walk away knowing how to:

  • Measure the performance and value that are added by your current forecasting efforts.
  • Identify and eliminate process waste.
  • Evaluate the role of management intervention in the forecasting process.
