Event Overview:

Today, collecting and consolidating forecast data from individual countries for global forecasting can sometimes take weeks. Some forecast teams also find themselves saddled with slow, cumbersome planning systems and processes that hinder effective collaboration.

Are there ways for global teams to collaborate with country affiliates more effectively on commercial forecasting? How can global forecasters leverage local insights to efficiently drive global scenario planning across markets or indications?

In this webinar, we’ll explore through concepts and case studies how agile business processes coupled with dynamic forecasting platforms are facilitating access to local forecasting insights, cutting re-forecasting times, and reducing barriers to collaboration. Join us and learn more!

3 Key take-aways:
