Guiding Principles for the Forecasting Support System
The most recent three issues of Foresight featured Steve Morlidge’s encyclopedic rendition of “Guiding Principles” for an organization’s forecasting process. The guiding principles were divided into five classifications: Foundation Principles, Design Principles, Process Principles, Behavioural Principles, and Principles for Maintenance and Improvement. Much food for thought was offered there, as we have seen in the many commentaries on Steve’s principles the journal has since printed and continues to solicit. Not explicitly addressed was the organization’s software support for the forecasting function. Robert Fildes and Paul Goodwin now extend the guiding principles to the specific concerns of software support. Having spent many years examining the ways organizations develop and use forecasting support systems (FSS), Robert and Paul now offer a valuable checklist for firms seeking to evaluate and possibly upgrade their software solutions.
