Even if they have a wealth of data, most companies lack information. We help organisations to reduce the information in their enterprise data systems and put it to work making better business decisions. True business intelligence requires more than information technology. Our consultants are expert at ”mining”  data from different systems to arrive at actionable strategic information. We have deep experience designing industry-specific business analytics and technologies for corporate planning. Our solutions deliver superior returns on investment. Our services include:

• Strategic analysis and simulation for effective business-level management

• Strategic analysis and simulation for effective portfolio-level management

• Business simulation for senior management training

• Design of business information systems for optimal strategic and operating performance

• Business risk analysis, focusing on strategic and operational risk

• Modeling of competitive interplay for bidding and pricing decisions

• Measurement systems of business performance

Business Analytics Tools

We provide proprietary, empirically-based business analysis tools to:

• Aid management in formulating credible plans

• Assist corporate staff, board members, and securities analysts who need to assess the riskiness and credibility of business plans

• Diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of a business or a portfolio

• Prescribe strategies and tactics to improve performance

• Test alternative business plans

• Estimate the market value of a business

The models are powerful and unique because they are based on the real-life experiences of the thousands of businesses that contributed data to our proprietary databases. They incorporate "laws of the marketplace" that are valid across industries, and that therefore tend to remain valid when circumstances change in your industry. Our methodology employs approaches well accepted in other fields (such as medicine and engineering) and applies them to business problems. The approach is scientific -- rigorous, quantitative, and outcomes-based.

Our tools enable managers to learn which actions are likely to improve a business's performance, and which are not, based on the experiences of similar businesses that have already taken the same actions. Our tools are used by managers to formulate winning strategies and used by corporate staff, board members, and securities analysts to assess the risk and credibility of plans and projections.

Our Business Analytics is led by the people who developed The PIMS Program -- a global consortium of 3,000 businesses from 300 companies. You have probably learned about PIMS research findings in business school.
