Decision Consulting
We apply our unique blend of strategic consulting, data analytics and visualization to help our clients make the right choice.
Our decision consulting has been applied to problems as diverse as portfolio management, R&D investment strategy, business-model generation, customer analytics, revenue forecasting, Formula One race strategy, and price on social networks.
DATA ANALYTICS
Businesses are generating, capturing, and aggregating ever larger amounts of data. Their challenge is to make this data meaningful; to use it to inform decisions.
We use statistical analysis, machine learning, and data visualization to help companies derive actionable insight from their data. We are proficient in large-scale data analysis and modeling and in big-data programming methods.
Bespoke Engineering
Our team of engineers, technical architects, data scientists, and user interface designers deliver advanced bespoke solutions to our clients using best-of-breed standards in software development.
We work with Microsoft .NET, Silverlight, WPF, Surface, HTML5 and iOS technologies, with authors and industry leaders in these fields, and according to rapid agile project management methodologies.
Decision Mapping
Our proprietary Carbon technology enables rapid scenario development and the mapping and formulation of complex temporal decision problems.
An interactive map helps senior decision-makers connect, build, and evaluate different routes through a complex and moving decision space to better better understand – and communicate – their options at any point in time. Optimization metrics can be quickly and flexibly defined, and the associated optimization problems are solved within the platform.
OPTIONS ANALYTICS
Our proprietary technology and (patented) options algorithms help clients evaluate portfolio management and allocation problems for a wide range of assets under a broad set of conditions.
We help our clients navigate complex investment decisions using options methods that capture the extreme volatility of R&D investments, the risk outlook of investors, and the competition dynamics in an adversarial marketplace.
Intelligence Gathering
Competing effectively means sourcing the right information, deriving meaningful intelligence from it, and responding accordingly faster than the competition.
We help companies source data on their decision problems both within and without their organizations. On problems ranging from organizational productivity monitoring and customer profiling to R&D investment strategy, we help companies quickly deploy systems to collect data, to automatically sift through the noise to find the most important signals, and to combine these signals into actionable intelligence.
Information Design
Our information design experience helps clients understand and communicate the core narrative of their decisions, driving better and faster decision-making in the process. We craft applications that engage decision-makers with their data. We focus on design and end-user experience at a very early stage to create intelligent, appropriate interfaces and visually informative data visualizations.
Working in sectors such as advanced industries, finance, media and sport, we often take complex requirements – very large data sets, real-time data, shared real-time workspaces – and apply design to create light, elegant, and understandable decision support solutions.
Training
We provide custom workshops and training courses on Silverlight, WPF, Expression Blend, and UI Design. Our trainers are authors and experts in their fields, and draw on many years of experience in best practice with these technologies.
We can tailor the content to fit the specific skills and needs of your teams. All our course material leads delegates through practical everyday tasks, exploring the features and functionalities of these technologies through a series of structured real-world exercises.
