Who Should Own the Business Forecasting Function?

Joe Smith and Simon Clarke

Foresight: The International Journal of Applied Forecasting, 2011, issue 20, 4-7

Abstract: Where in an organization should the forecasting function be located? This most fundamental question is often overlooked, and there are organizations that have stumbled into a preliminary placement without having really thought through the options. In this first installment of their new column, Joe Smith and Simon Clarke offer their prescriptions and the arguments behind them. As you will see, they agree that minimizing functional bias is the most important consideration, but they recommend quite different structural approaches to accomplish this.
