Using Collective Intelligence to de-risk new product introductions.

When: December 8th at 11am PT.

Where: Register Today on CFO.com. It’s free to sign up.

Does your company rely on new product introductions to drive growth? A single missed launch date for a new product can impact company valuation by 5%, costing millions of dollars in market cap. With increasing consumer and investor expectations around new products and the globalization of supply chains – the risks to your company have never been higher or harder to measure.

How many products has your company launched over the years? The information you need to make better decisions and to minimize risks exists in your company, if only you had an efficient way to tap into it. Prediction markets offer a new way to identify, measure and respond to risks. By aggregating insights from across your company to evaluate and quantify risks, you have the best chance to recognize issues early and take corrective action.

In this webcast you will learn about the key problems with new product introductions, the risks they introduce, and how to use prediction markets to quickly identify, measure and respond to risks that keep new products from launching on-time.

You can join in on the fun by clicking here. As of today, the most active forecasts are for the U.S. unemployment rate, change in US GDP, and the price of a barrel of light crude oil.

We’re really excited about our partnership with CFO magazine. We think it will create a unique place for readers — finance executives around the world — to develop accurate forecasts for metrics critical to their day-to-day jobs. We’re excited to see how this community evolves, and how well it does compared to some of the official forecasts out there.
