The hardest question for most board directors and senior executives is not "What's the current forecast?" but the supplementary question "How likely are we to achieve it?". We can help you evaluate the likelihood of achieving a forecast or plan, predict the most likely outcome and identify the key areas of focus to enable you to bring your operation back on track.

Our Predictive Budgeting Methodology

The Risk Reduction Workshop

Whatever their background, the board member's I meet agree that running a company gets more complex every year. In short they feel that they're having to juggle more balls faster in front of a rapidly growing audience that's increasingly intolerant of errors. We can help you unlock the complexity that surrounds your business, help you evaluate the long-term and short-term impact of decisions and help you keep your business profitable in the face of change.

The Simplifying Complexity Workshop

Balanced scorecards can be a powerful management tool but from a board and senior perspective they have a major limitation. Like driving with your rear view mirrors they tell you where you've been not where you're going. We can help you add forecasting and strategic planning to create a Predictive Scorecard so that you will be able to predict and avoid problems before they hit and proactively seek and grasp emerging opportunities before it's too late to seize a market advantage.

The Future Proofing Workshop

Statistics and Data Analysis used to be thought of as "unexciting" but they have given 21st Century organisations the potential to become the most effective and efficient organisations in history - Computer mediation of almost all organisational processes and many social interaction and entertainment channels (such as telephone, media downloads and the new social networking sites) has generated measurable and analysable data in unprecedented volume and quality. Statistics and Data Analysis are at the forefront of the most exciting technological revolution since the invention of language. We hope you share our enthusiasm and we look forward to working with you as you explore this new world of infinite potential.

Internet Search Technology and Electronic Social Networking have made business more dependant on data analytics - Technologies like Google AdWords and Facebook Beacon are more than just a change of philosophy, re-focusing businesses on the individual. The enormous statistical and visualisation advances in data analytics and the dramatic scale changes in database technology have created a technological “arms race” in which most organisations are falling behind and losing profit and market share in the process. The real hurdle for most organisations is not cost but availability of skill and knowledge. We specialise in providing complete infrastructure support services, from data extraction through to predictive analytics. We help organisations, who cannot cost justify an in-house analytic team or whose in-house team are already overstretched, achieve significantly improved commercial results through the use of cutting edge analytics and web technology.

Database Precision Marketing and Customer Insight - High performance precision marketing is critically dependant on the data and analytics that underpin today's sophisticated CRM and Campaign Management systems. Traditional marketing was built on the 4Ps of Product, Place, Promotion, Price, but technology changes affecting manufacturing, distribution and communication channels have put people into the marketing equation and a 4P strategy no longer works. Today’s successful organisations have adopted the 5R marketing of Right Customer, Right Product, Right Offer, Right Message, Right Time for their B2C and B2B marketing. We are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in the operational use of customer data to increase sales and marketing effectiveness and decrease campaign wastage across the complete customer lifecycle.

The Balanced Scorecard Revolution - Organisations now inhabit a fast moving commercial environment where they need to be aware of business and performance changes in hours rather than months. Out have gone the old exception reports and monthly reporting cycle to be replaced by the new data analytics driven Balanced Scorecard. If your organisation is implementing or already running a balanced scorecard system we can help optimise the data analytics underpinning your balanced scorecard and significantly improve your data visualisation capabilities.
