Event Details
Everyone's been on at least one. The big project that goes way over budget. The project that is six months late. Issues that weren't raised early enough to do anything about them. Expectations that were unreasonable. Contingency planning that was poor or nonexistent. Adam Siegel, founder of Inkling Inc., will explain how prediction markets can collect anonymous and continuous input about project milestones and mitigate the risk factors caused by gaps in timely and accurate information. These gaps and other failures typically cost large organizations millions, usually in the form of cost and schedule overruns, not to mention the impact on shareholder value, morale, and competitive positioning. Using prediction markets can close information gaps and increase the likelihood of project success from your entire project team, subject matter experts, business partners, and consulting team.
