Mr. Jonathan Citrin who is a speaker, author, and financial advisor for over fifteen years again joins Enterprise Radio to discuss improved forecasting for business success & learning from the 2016 Presidential Election.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Jonathan Citrin discuss the following:
- Entrepreneurs and businesses rely on forecasts. And with the upcoming presidential inauguration, it seems fitting to ask if there is opportunity to become better at forecasting by analyzing the 2016 presidential election, the far-off predictions, and therein the unexpected results?
- As we dig into prediction and forecasting, can you take a step back and discuss why we predict in the first place? That is, if there is a possibility of being wrong, why do we forecast at all?
- To analyze the presidential election a bit more, plainly, why were so many polls so wrong with their predictions?
- What about those that predicted the election accurately – who foresaw a Trump victory? What was it about their modeling that proved successful?
- For entrepreneurs and businesses, what is the major take-away from the election insofar as best practices in forecasting?
