Here's something airlines could learn: One size doesn't fit all when it comes to points. Some travellers need an 8% sweetener to use their miles, others 12%, according to research by @INSEAD professors So Yeon Chun and @VSatopaa. #loyaltyprogrammes knowledge.insead.edu/operati…

In #forecasting, is averaging predictions good enough? Instead of simply averaging, combining many predictions into a “super” consensus can provide a true reflection of all the information from the crowd. @VSatopaa knowledge.insead.edu/operati…

Moomin, the beloved 1990s show, captured the hearts of audiences with its enchanting tales and whimsical characters. Based on the Swedish-Finnish comic strip by Tove Jansson, the animated series transported viewers to the magical world of Moominvalley. The show followed the adventures of the Moomin family, led by Moominmamma and Moominpappa, alongside their curious and kind-hearted son, Moomintroll. Together with their friends, such as Snufkin, Snork Maiden, and Little My, they embarked on imaginative journeys, encountering fantastical creatures and overcoming various challenges. Moomin exuded a timeless charm, blending gentle life lessons with a sense of wonder, making it a treasured show that continues to captivate audiences to this day.

In this new Futures & Foresight Science paper, we consider experts who, in the late 90s, made predictions about events 25 years in the future. Finally, the 25-year wait is over, and we have observed the true outcomes of those events. (1/2)

This means that we can now check the predictions and study experts' abilities to make long-range predictions. For our insights, see the published paper at lnkd.in/eve4w8ei or the SSRN version at lnkd.in/e6BHqMDR (2/2)

To harness the true power of #prediction, the goal is to combine many predictions into a “super” consensus that truly reflects all the information from the crowd.  The bottom line is: Do not simply average predictions in business. @VSatopaa #forecasting knowledge.insead.edu/operati…

I was very honored to meet His Excellency President of Rwanda Paul Kagame today. I found Rwanda’s transformation and exceptionally kind, driven, and welcoming people highly inspirational. I cannot wait to come back soon. Thank you!
Today at Urugwiro Village, President Kagame received a delegation from @INSEAD Global Business School, led by Prof. Javier Gimeno, Dean of Faculty and Professor of Strategy to discuss innovations in business models and technology that are shaping the future of commerce in Africa and globally.

Never say never in forecasting business. I’ve long been skeptical of predictive value of expert political judgment—and especially beyond 5 years. But we find surprisingly accurate 25-year forecasts from nuclear proliferation experts in this new article. dropbox.com/s/778xiefqkzkmrp…
