Superforecasting


What if we could improve our ability to predict the future? Everything we do involves forecasts about how the future will unfold. Whether buying a new house or changing job, designing a new product or getting married, our decisions are governed by implicit predictions of how things are likely to turn out. The problem is, we're not very good at it. In a landmark, twenty-year study, Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed that the average expert was only slightly better at predicting the future than a layperson using random guesswork. Tetlock's latest project - an unprecedented, government-funded forecasting tournament involving over a million individual predictions - has since shown that there are, however, some people with real, demonstrable foresight. These are ordinary people, from former ballroom dancers to retired computer programmers, who have an extraordinary ability to predict the future with a degree of accuracy 60 per cent greater than average. They are superforecasters. In Superforecasting, Tetlock and his co-author Dan Gardner offer a fascinating insight into what we can learn from this elite group. They show the methods used by these superforecasters which enable them to outperform even professional intelligence analysts with access to classified data. And they offer practical advice on how we can all use these methods for our own benefit - whether in business, in international affairs, or in everyday life.

Superforecasting


A New York Times Bestseller An Economist Best Book of 2015 "The most important book on decision making since Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow." ?Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week?s meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts? predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight, and Tetlock has spent the past decade trying to figure out why. What makes some people so good? And can this talent be taught? In Superforecasting, Tetlock and coauthor Dan Gardner offer a masterwork on prediction, drawing on decades of research and the results of a massive, government-funded forecasting tournament. The Good Judgment Project involves tens of thousands of ordinary people?including a Brooklyn filmmaker, a retired pipe installer, and a former ballroom dancer?who set out to forecast global events. Some of the volunteers have turned out to be astonishingly good. They?ve beaten other benchmarks, competitors, and prediction markets. They?ve even beaten the collective judgment of intelligence analysts with access to classified information. They are "superforecasters." In this groundbreaking and accessible book, Tetlock and Gardner show us how we can learn from this elite group. Weaving together stories of forecasting successes (the raid on Osama bin Laden?s compound) and failures (the Bay of Pigs) and interviews with a range of high-level decision makers, from David Petraeus to Robert Rubin, they show that good forecasting doesn?t require powerful computers or arcane methods. It involves gathering evidence from a variety of sources, thinking probabilistically, working in teams, keeping score, and being willing to admit error and change course. Superforecasting offers the first demonstrably effective way to improve our ability to predict the future?whether in business, finance, politics, international affairs, or daily life?and is destined to become a modern classic. From the Hardcover edition.

Superprognózy


Bestseller podle New York Times. Best Book of 2015 podle The Economist. Z lepšího nahlížení do budoucnosti by měl prospěch každý, ať už jde o nákup akcií, sestavování politických opatření, uvádění nového produktu na trh, nebo jen plánování jídelníčku na týden dopředu. Lidé však obecně předpovídají budoucnost velice špatně. Kniha Superprognózy od jednoho z nejuznávanějších sociologů na světě je průlomovým dílem pojednávajícím o návycích mysli, které vedou k nejlepším prognózám. Profesor Philip Tetlock dokázal, že dokonce i prognózy odborníků jsou jen o málo přesnější než náhodné odhady. Jeho studie však vedla k dalšímu důležitému zjištění: někteří lidé skutečně dokážou předpovídat budoucnost. V posledních deseti letech se Tetlock snažil zjistit, proč tomu tak je. Díky čemu jsou tak dobří? Můžeme se této schopnosti naučit? Tetlock a Gardner čerpají z desítek let výzkumu a z výsledků obrovského prognostického turnaje financovaného americkou vládou. Good Judgment Project zapojuje desítky tisíc obyčejných lidí, kteří se rozhodli předpovídat globální události. Překvapivě se ukázalo, že někteří z nich jsou velice dobří. Překonali referenční hodnoty, své konkurenty i prognostické trhy a zpravodajské analytiky mající přístup k utajeným informacím. Jsou to „superprognostici“. V této průlomové a čtivé knize autoři ukazují, co a jak se od této elitní skupiny můžeme učit. Superprognózy nabízejí první prokazatelně účinný způsob, jak zlepšit naši schopnost předpovídat budoucnost – a to v podnikání, finančnictví, politice, mezinárodních vztazích i každodenním životě. V knize se dozvíte: Co je pohled zpoza špičky nosu Jaký je rozdíl mezi liškami a ježky K čemu je dobré pochybování Proč prognostici potřebují zpětnou vazbu Jak se vyhnout vágním pojmům Že k dobrým prognózám nejsou zapotřebí supervýkonné počítače ani záhadné metody Kde udělali analytici ze CIA chybu ohledně zbraní hromadného ničení v Iráku Co pro superprognostiky znamená jejich tým Proč by dobří lídři měli být dobrými prognostiky
