What happens next?
This eternal question always has humanity excited and curious. From the next second to the next decade, we want to know the future, not then, but now! So, can you forecast the future now? Consider the case of Paul, The Octopus, who predicted football matches ahead of the 2010 World Cup. The mechanism involved having him choose two jars to eat from with the flags of the competing countries. The country that inevitably won was the one whose flag was draped around the jar he chose to eat from.
Is this forecasting and predicting the future? Or was it more a case of putting cause and effect together and creating hype, as did the media back then? You take your time and decide.
Meanwhile, this blog is about forecasting, but of a kind where you need to make predictions based on evidence and numbers today. Project forecasting has widely been regarded as a science and an art, but for a business owner, it needs to be a certainty, not a forecast. A 20% project growth forecast or a 14-month project deadline forecast cannot materialize to 8% growth or a 24-month completion.
