15 Potential Group Discussion Points Are the financial and customer service price tags for inaccurate forecasts well understood by senior management? How do you prioritize initiatives to improve forecasting? What forecast horizon and interval provide the best results for your company? Do you understand why? How effectively do you share forecast information with external organizations. (i.e., just because they get it, do they get it? ) At what level of aggregation should forecast accuracy be reported to be most effective? 15
16 Important Takeaways While there are many Sales Forecasting takeaways in Benchmarking & Best Practices, some of the more important are: Determination of the best forecast horizon and interval is a critical part of generating meaningful forecasts. Forecasting is much, much more than software and algorithms. Although primarily after-the-fact, the avenues for hedging forecast accuracy are very important aspects of forecasting. 16
