History to Demand-Driven Forecasting

In early Spring I wrote the foreword to Charlie Chase’ forthcoming book, Demand-Driven Forecasting (John Wiley & Sons). It was an honor to be asked to do it, as I’ve known Charlie since the early 1990s and consider him not only a well-respected colleague, but also a close friend. In fact I owe him a great deal because he introduced me to the Institute of Business Forecasters organization, the pre-eminent business forecasting organization that I’ve been affiliated with ever since.
