This half day course explores current best practice in the generation and use of consensus forecasts. It is designed as a very practical session which will consider all aspects of consensus management: from the logistics (how a consensus forecast should be prepared and where it should be used), to advice on how to handle potential issues. It will be of particular benefit to IR team members who are constructing or using consensus forecasts for their company. It may also be helpful for service providers who engage with IR teams and want to better understand their world.
