Leading data science training provider Metis will host its
latest free webinar “Data-Driven Approaches to Forecasting” on
September 26, at 12 PM ET, as part of its ongoing commitment to
help organizations train their employees to uncover value in data.
Designed for business leaders, data science managers, and decision
makers, the webinar aims to help attendees understand opportunities
to improve how data is used to inform forecasting and planning. The
webinar will cover:
- Identifying and evaluating new data-driven approaches, such as
time series forecasting, for your forecasts
- Overcoming common implementation issues that arise in
data-driven forecasting applications
- Measuring performance in the context of business
objectives
Leading the webinar will be Javed Ahmed, senior data scientist
at Metis, who has experience in banking, finance, forecasting, risk
management, consulting, policy, and behavioral economics. He has
led development of analytic applications for large organizations
including Amazon and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, and
served as a researcher with the Office of Financial Research (U.S.
Treasury). Ahmed holds a Ph.D. in financial economics and an M.A.
in statistics from the University of California, Berkeley, as well
as undergraduate degrees in operations management and systems
engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
“Business leaders look to improve forecasts, which can often be
difficult to understand or trust. Data-driven techniques like
time-series analysis can improve planning and lead to new insights,
but implementation is rarely straightforward” said Ahmed. “However,
there can be huge upside if applied correctly.”

live online for corporate clients with custom solutions including
