Abstract

While no one who has attempted to manage a new Operational Forecasting (OF) project will tell you it was a piece of cake, they probably never fully anticipated the breadth of issues that would have to be addressed or the sustained leadership requirements necessary for effecting change that works. Ian Watson-Jones has spearheaded many an OF project. In this feature article, Ian describes the wide range of elements that can undermine project success and offers mighty sensible recommendations for anticipating and overcoming the challenges. Don't miss his checklists of Process, System, and Organization issues. Copyright International Institute of Forecasters, 2008
