The aim of forecasting isn't to predict the future, but to prepare for it. It is crucial to be ready for whatever lies ahead, regardless of our job roles. Predictive analysis goes beyond just predicting numbers; it is a crucial tool for every decision we make based on data. We make such decisions all the time, whether it is changing a process, having a coaching conversation, delivering a new training course, creating new knowledge management content, introducing a new system, or making a planning decision. To determine whether a decision is correct, we must understand what will happen if we take action or do nothing. When evaluating the success of a change, we must predict what would have occurred if we hadn't made the change. In this workshop, members will share their perspectives, and we will explore how to expand predictive analysis and forecasting's scope to make data-led decisions throughout our organisations. This workshop is intended for individuals working in planning, insight, continuous improvement, leadership, and quality roles.
This workshop is about improving both our people and our processes. We'll cover important topics like quality frameworks, coaching, knowledge management, and training and development.

It will be an interactive workshop where we'll recognize similarities and differences between these important skills and create a community to help us all improve.
