Decision Support
More and more decisions have to be made in networks. Networks have no hierarchy, which
precludes simple command and control-type decision making. In addition, project-based
techniques are unlikely to succeed in networks, since project management presupposes that
one actor, the project manager, is at the top of a hierarchy.
How to make decisions, when both command and control and project management are
ineffective? Decision makers operating in networks need a new perspective.
If neither command and control nor project management are effective, process management
offers a solution: to reach decisions, invest in a structured interaction process. One must
execute an in-depth analysis of process management: how to design and manage a process
and why, what risks does it pose and how one can address them?
Business Modeling
Modeling and simulation is an essential process in modern business management. Models allow
you to test ideas in a virtual world where mistakes are inexpensive. They also provide a
framework for comparing competing alternatives. And, they help you to clarify the potential
risks and rewards of pursuing actions.
What's more, modeling is pervasive. Every time someone in your organization builds a
spreadsheet to "run the numbers", they are building a model. Companies invest significantly in
this activity, and they invest even more by shaping company strategy around the results
models generate. Because of this importance, there are advantages in treating modeling as an
enterprise-wide, strategic initiative.
Collaborative Modeling
Collaborative modeling allows many individuals in your company to contribute to a joint
modeling effort in a way that risks and opportunities throughout your organization are captured
and rolled up in real-time without any loss of detail.
Decision Support Packages
We specialize in developing transparent and complete Decision Support Packages for use in
Stage Gate Transitions and for communications with lenders, investors, and senior
management, including boards of directors. WHEN there is a need for an outside independent

assist you in those critical decisions with the support you need.

| When Net Present Value (NPV) is involved, then TIME IS IMPORTANT! A TRUE Sense of Urgency must exist when time is of the Essence. Complacency IS NOT acceptable...false urgency is NOT the cure. |
