Thanks for the comment. Strangely I fount this quant subject very practical. Normally when I forecast I create three scenarios: optimistic, pessimistic and neutral, based on modifying the basic assumptions. This course gave me a new set of skills to use.

I did regressions in my undergraduate days I did not understand them at all. I’m not sure I’ll use regression in future forecasts because excel does not make them easy to set up, I’d like to believe I will at least attempt it.

One of the biggest take-home behaviours I learned in the qualitative Managing People and Organisations course was to measure my decision making effectiveness. i.e. track how often and to what degree my guesses and decisions are accurate as a way of improving my decision making processes.

I’m integrating these quantitative data analysis concepts into the organizational behavior concepts.

One additional benefit is that I have a manufacturing background, but it’s sad how few quant concepts are used in the manufacturers I’ve worked with.
