Making Strategies and Ideas Work
Solutions
Our solutions are based on a platform that integrates strategic management and operations management through strategic management engine and operations management engine respectively. The strategic management engine works in tandem with the operations management engine, understanding threats and opportunities, experimenting with new/modified processes, and shaping the future so the organization positions itself to win both in the short-term and long-term. Our approach enables organizations to improve their chances of successfully making good strategies and good ideas work.

Strategic Management Engine
Strategic management engine provides the platform for strategy execution. A strategy defines how the business ans its members should evolve in order to achieve long term success. The strategy engine is driven by questions such as:
Strategic management engine enables an organization to avoid the calcification and atrophy that occurs when businesses don't think ahead, and dispose of their strategic initiatives. It helps the business make changes or adjust its direction to ensure that the organization is adding value for customers, owners, and employees, and doing the best work while avoiding misfires.

- Where should the company/firm compete in the future?
- How should the company/firm compete in the future? i.e., what core competencies and capabilities the organization should develop?
- What should the company be doing?
- How should the company be doing it? i.e., what is the organization's "operating system"??

Operations Management Engine
Operations management engine provides the platform for executing the current value chain of activities that drive the delivery of value to customers. It is concerned with executing on everyday activities and commitments. The engine is driven by the following questions:
Operations management strategically involves the long-term planning and structuring of work through operations strategy design, and tactically it involves resource planning and coordination of work.

Competency Management Engine
The Competency Engine takes as input a model of the organization's operating system - joint configuration of resources (people, machines, material and time) and process - and executes it through simulation to determine the organizations core competencies and effectiveness in creating and delivering value to customers.
In most organizations today, the value chain processes and the support administrative processes have gone through re-engineering and improvement initiatives a number of times and are fairly efficient. Most residual inefficiencies and ineffectiveness result from problems with organizational behavior and managerial processes, and bigger gains can be attained by improving organizational behavior, and management processes and decision-making.
