The Boardroom Forecast: Reflections from ISG Analysis Report

Boardroom Forecast Episode #2

In times of uncertainty, leaders need more than headlines. They need clarity. The Boardroom Forecast is a new audio-only podcast from Board designed for executives who want to cut through the noise and make confident, informed decisions.

Each episode explores the forces shaping enterprise performance, with expert analysis from Board’s economists, strategists, and planners.

In Episode Two:

ISG’s analysis insight report reveals a surprising truth: most enterprises are making critical decisions based only on internal data. This is leaving them blind to early market signals that could help them plan better.

In this episode, we reflect on key insights from the ISG report and explore what’s holding companies back from outside-in planning. You’ll hear how overreliance on lagging internal metrics can delay response to shifts in inflation, consumer behavior, tariffs, and more.

We also look at how new tools—like Board Foresight—are helping organizations recognize external intelligence directly into their decision-making, from finance to supply chain to workforce planning.
