Our Research Products for Strategy Performance of Organisations
Despite being a core process in the world of enterprise, the management of business performance is often not implemented through approaches that are consistent and well laid out. The existence of an explicit process provides much needed reliability and consistency, casts a wider net for business insight, and instils action orientation. FORJAHED® provides a comprehensive and holistic view of your business performance management process, highlights improvement areas, and identifies causal factors. FORJAHED® believes ‘goal setting’ and ‘performance reviews’ to be the two pillars of business performance management, and disaggregates these constructs into their constituent elements. Get FORJAHED® if you want to raise performance awareness, instil performance discipline and heighten performance response in your organisation.

Despite risk being endemic, risk management is often not formalised in the culture and calendar of organisations. Dry financial and analytical exercises that pass for risk management are bound to be futile, since uncertainty lends itself poorly to prediction. RISACEND® believes that imagination has to inspire risk management. First, the more lethal risks often lie beyond cognition. Second, the timing and amplitude of uncertain events can rarely be understood without imagination. Finally, solutions for complex multifaceted problems mostly lie in creative domains. RISACEND® adopts an imaginatively resourceful approach to evaluate your organisation’s implicit risk management methods, identify risk domains, and suggest procedural improvements. Get RISACEND® to view and prepare for risks that lie hidden closer to the truth.

Business planning is the veritable structure that holds the business together and has implications for a host of processes. The typical business planning process is an iron-clad and one-way static process that is tied directly to budgeting, and designed for dilution when performance lags targets. The most striking lacunae is the scant regard to likely reaction of competitors. For planning to guide and aid your business performance, it has to incorporate flexibility. STRABYS® profiles the strengths and weaknesses of your business planning process, examines its interlinkages with surrounding processes, and identifies the need to build scenarios and milestones, with their attendant resource allocation, strategies and interventions. Get STRABYS® to inject dynamism in your business planning and make it flexible through actionable and impactful scenario planning.

M&A proposals are replete with proclamations of possible synergies. But what of the humans who will execute against these levers and ultimately generate value? What of the beliefs, attitudes, mindsets, hopes and agency of the peoples of organisations that purport to merge, acquire or be acquired? ORBWIN® outlines the attractiveness and readiness of inorganic activity by focusing on organisation culture and people considerations. ORBWIN® assesses the alignment at a human level of doxastic states such as beliefs, desires and attitudes that are held by people of the two prospective partner organisations, towards the value creation and synergy levers that have been proclaimed. Get ORBWIN® to move beyond “spreadsheet-level value creation” and “culture-related platitudes”, and get an assessment from the coalface on whether value creation will indeed fructify.

Marketing is the enabler and direction setter of the commercial engine, and the enterprise’s interpreter of its customers. Unfortunately, the function is often confined to controlling marketing expenditures and performing cost-benefit analysis. Missing prominently is the assessment of “portfolio lifecycle” – the most defining characteristic of a company’s product assets. BRANSURGE® comprehensively assesses your brand portfolio; categorises brands based on their roles, goals and strategies; and identifies interventions to strengthen and manage the “portfolio lifecycle”. Get BRANSURGE® for an insightful assessment of your brand portfolio and a helpful view of its constitution; to place your brands into meaningful cohorts and characterise these; and to identify big-ticket interventions to strengthen the “portfolio lifecycle”.

Brands make up the soul of a business enterprise. While marketing literature has emphasised ad nauseam the importance of sharp differentiation, its implementation in real life has been patchy. As scale grows, brand strategy turns egalitarian and the edge gets taken away from value proposition. To acquire “lighthouse stature”, brands need to “unbelong” – from their organisation setting, their portfolio setting, their competitive setting. GROBRAND℠ examines the brand strategy development process and assesses the level of “differentiation edge and primacy” along six criteria. GROBRAND℠ provides a no-holds-barred assessment of differentiation intensity that your “lighthouse brands” enjoy. Get GROBRAND℠ to move away from risk-averse low intensity approaches, and instead adopt approaches that add edge, intensity and sharp character.
