SUMMARY:Online training: Real Forecasting for Professional Analysts
DESCRIPTION:If you want to succeed in the future, you must use forecas
 ts. If you want to improve your chances of success, make sure you and 
 your analysts are using Real Forecasting.\n\nHaving trained thousands 
 of executives in the art of foresight, Competitive Futures knows that 
 now, more than ever, we need a clear view of the events coming in week
 s, months and year, or we risk making decisions on faulty assumptions.
  What passes for business media is scarcely a help in this area. If yo
 u listen uncritically to the forecasts offered up in most channels, yo
 u have to base your view of the future on:\n\n* Sunny economic forecas
 ts based on stock speculation instead of shrinking incomes and unemplo
 yment\n* Chairmen of the Federal Reserve forecasting the rise housing 
 prices just before the detonation of the entire economy under the weig
 ht of fake mortage-backed securities\n* The US Government predicting w
 orld oil supply as stable or steadily growing while key oil fields go 
 extinct and China and India put millions of cars on the road\n* Health
 care debates that appear to ignore the impact of the Boomer retirement
 , shifts in employment contracts\n\nIf you are a professional analyst,
  we want you to be able to:\n\n* Know good forecasts from bad\n* Ident
 ify who can you trust in a world without defined authority figures\n* 
 Make critical decisions based on the best information\n\nOur short cou
 rse entitled Real Forecasting for Professional Analysts is perfect for
  busy analysts and managers who want a professional-level refresher co
 urse in the evaluation of forecasts. Our course, featuring 60 minutes 
 of content and 30 minutes of Q&A, will show you how to:\n\n* Find the 
 right sources\n* Identify what type of forecast is on offer\n* Explore
  the assumptions of the author\n* Pick out the trends used to make the
  forecast\n* Identify implications of the forecast\n* Assess the proba
 bility of the future described\n* Communicate this infomation to other
  people\n\nAt the end of the day, we want our clients to be ready to e
 valuate forecasts, understand who is writing them, ascertain their ass
 umptions and know what it all means so they can better plan for the fu
 ture.\n\nThis course will be delivered electronically, and will allow 
 for group interaction.\n\nFor more information visit https://competiti
