Our Superforecasting workshops incorporate Good Judgment research findings and practical Superforecaster® know-how.
Your team will learn how to find and mitigate hidden cognitive biases, pose the right questions, weigh new evidence, and combine individual forecasts to yield the most accurate wisdom-of-the-crowd predictions.
Workshops help your team quantify and explicitly express their key assumptions, resulting in more accurate forecasting.
Learn information-sharing techniques proven to boost collective intelligence and judgmental accuracy.
Tap internal knowledge that outsourced firms cannot easily access. Building your team’s forecasting skills lets your organization achieve ongoing improvements in performance.
Good Judgment training professionals and elite Superforecasters will customize the workshop structure to meet the schedule and training needs of your strategists and analysts.
Workshops are typically designed for groups of up to 25 participants, but can accommodate much larger groups as well.
Our one-to-two-hour lectures cover fundamental techniques for forecasting, debiasing individual forecasts, and combining individual forecasts into aggregate predictions.
Good Judgment will work with you to optimize a schedule that covers the material normally included in our half-day on-site workshops. The scope includes an introductory lecture on fundamental techniques for forecasting, as well as a breakout session that provides concrete practice and rapid feedback on the skills taught in the lecture.
Good Judgment will work with you to customize a schedule spread over multiple days that includes all of the material usually covered in our full-day onsite workshops. These virtual workshops incorporate significantly more material on teaming, with additional breakout time focused on the forecasting issues most relevant to workshop participants, as well as a session on translating problems into specific forecasting questions.
“The analysts loved the chance to sit down for a morning and debate problems, scenarios and analytical techniques. Your team was professional, prepared, engaging and great to work with! Everything flowed really nicely.”
Rachel Bode, CEO“A company that is right three times out of five on its judgment calls is going to have an ever-increasing edge on a competitor that gets them right only two times out of five.”
HBR, Superforecasting: How to Upgrade Your Company’s Judgment“The workshop was invaluable. Outstanding instructors. Content is applicable to a wide range of domains, industries, firms, businesses, and subjects. Harnessing this training would benefit so many people.”
“It was helpful to see the clear scientific research underpinning the way we make predictions. I also enjoyed the translation from science to practice. The instructors are personable and adaptive (addressing the emerging questions as we go), which I appreciate too. The survey results are interesting, and the interactive activities are great.”
Workshop participants boost their accuracy, show an improvement in mitigating cognitive biases, and recommend the workshop to their peers (but maybe not to their competitors).
