In reply to Michael L.

Michael,

The Institute of Business Forcasting periodically publishes results of their surveys of conference attendees. These appear in the Journal of Business Forecasting (e.g. Winter 2007-08 issue) or in separate publications. Find more at www.ibf.org -- you may need to become a member to access their reports.

Other consulting or academic organizations may have this kind of information available (perhaps only data from their clients, and perhaps only for a fee). For example, The Hackett Group provides business benchmarking services, and the University of Tennessee Supply Chain Forum does work in the forecasting area. And there are other forecasting research hotspots, such as Lancaster University's Centre for Forecasting.

Just be aware of the perils when viewing and interpreting benchmark data.
