Specialized financial
modeling skills, business
analytics expertise,
and applied management
science know-how are not
widely available
capabilities in most operating
enterprises:
Senior managers have
an intimate knowledge of
their industry dynamics and
organizational capabilities.
In addition, organizations
have institutional knowledge
about the drivers of their
business performance.
However, most organizations
do not have the expertise to
properly model their
operations for product
development investment decisions.
Neither "home-grown"
spreadsheets nor
commercially-available
software offerings address
the business needs of
real-world, multi-criteria
decision analyses:
Common tools like MS Excel
spreadsheet models, MS
Project schedules, and
application modules of
enterprise software systems
address limited forecasting
and planning analysis functions.
Analytical tools like
Linear Programming optimization solvers, Monte
Carlo simulators, and
statistical modeling tools
are generalized "number
crunchers" without
domain-specific
models to evaluate. Well-proven analytical
methods become quite
powerful, when integrated
with a quality decision
process that is embedded
within an intuitive,
business-specific user interface.
Our mission is
to provide the
analytical
expertise,
process
implementation
leadership, and
robust
decision-support
tools for
organizations to
make better,
more
well-informed
decisions:
We balance
modeling
complexity with
ease-of-use to
deliver the
highest level of
analysis
functionality
for the minimum
amount of data
forecasting
inputs. Our
planning solutions
operate in a
transparent
fashion, rather
than as
mysterious
"black box"
approaches based on "fuzzy
math". We
know how to
rapidly "raise
the bar" on your
organizational
performance, and
we have deep
experience in
overcoming
organizational
barriers to
change. Best of
all, we deliver
results within
weeks, not
months nor years. |
