According to the Aberdeen Group, 38% of financial planning teams report that their budgeting and forecasting process is too long and resource-intensive. The culprit? Multiple, disparate data sources, a highly spreadsheet-oriented processes, and an inability to incorporate machine learning into forecasting. Forecasts and plans change constantly, so how can financial planning teams refresh information based on real-time changes and model forecasts effectively?

This webinar breaks down the fundamentals to leveling up your forecast with collaborative intelligence — the combination of machine learning and human intelligence. We’ll explore how to integrate data sources once and for all, effectively re-forecast based on emerging and outside demand, and test scenarios like product cannibalization and the impact of new products with no clear predicate.
