Recognize the essential and act on it

To the heart of the issue in four steps

• To solve complex planning problems we usually build models.
• We do this, because to build a good model, you have to deeply understand the underlying issues.
• The model building process forces you to clarify objects, organisation, processes, relationships and dynamics.
• Once the model is built, it streamlines discussions and provides actable information.

Here is how we work:

• We know that every planning and investment problem is unique.
• To truly add value, we have to understand where you are and where you are coming from.
• Therefore, we start by listening and asking questions.

• Serious financial investment analysis and planning requires skill and experience.
• Before we do, we analyse and plan the project carefully.
• Then we prove feasibility by implementing core aspects of the solution.

• We use very specialized and partly proprietary applications to build the model for and with you.
• Model-building is an interactive activity. We will have questions.
• With every discussion the issues become clearer – for you and for us.

• Building a model works as an in-depth audit of the project/investment/firm analysed.
• Crucial insights are gained by building the model as well as by using it.
• One part of results is directly visible in the figures/the model.
• Finer points (organisational balance, key drivers, strength and weaknesses) are usually not.
• We thus normally report our findings and present them to you.
