Strategy & Analytics
Fact-based analytics for critical decisions
Start with rigorous fact-based analytics so your ambitions don’t go wrong at the outset
Especially when solving new sets of problems, or indeed, figuring out what the problems really are
Take decisions based on robust understanding of the situation and of the issues
How does an analytical process work?
We bring robust problem solving routines, and established systems for developing innovative design.
We carry on continuous research, development and knowledge management to enable this.
There is dedicated technology to support analytics and design.
Our clients experience a culture that fosters collaboration and mutual respect, and encourage people to share, not hoard, their knowledge and time. This is a culture we actively nurture.
Training
To build sustained capability for analytics, we help clients with training. This is similar to the training we do for our own teams.
Talk to us about training modules for:
- Problem solving methodologies
- Organizing analytical work processes
- Data management for analytical teams
- Strategic communication: Storylines and writing for impact
- Design for increased perception and impact
- Display of quantitative information
- The good and the bad of leadership of analytical engagements
We do much work to help automate standardized analytical work.
We can create fully automated powerpoint, websites or other formats with intelligent analytics behind it. Check out the technology section for more info.
