Issues

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments1 person in discussion

Issues notices were removed as follows:

Advertising

'Self-promotion' through excessive use of Primary Sources is now much reduced. Arfisk (talk) 01:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notability

The number and quality of independent citations now in place should be enough to establish notability. Arfisk (talk) 01:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Primary Sources

Citations from IFTF site and associated staff member have been replaced, where possible. One exception to this is in the discussion of the various IFTF reports. The problem is that, while the reports are widely cited, it is for their content rather than their format/intention. Arfisk (talk) 01:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Work

Removed, pending better citations:

Fortune 500 would be better covered in 'Corporate' section Arfisk (talk) 02:00, 3 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

The clients of these programs are primarily Fortune 500 companies. When the Institute was founded in 1968, the founders had envisioned working with governments, but over the years  Institute clients have included many large companies, along with nonprofits, foundations, and local, state and national governments. In recent years, its work has become increasingly international, and included proprietary tools for collaborative forecasting.^[1]
