Planning and Execution by the Numbers

The conventional approach to strategic planning and implementation is to rely on written reports and budgets. By fully quantifying this process, however, top management can gain access to and utilize company knowledge that is critically important to increase sales and profits. The ability to dynamically answer "what if" questions helps CEO's test and verify their strategies before making irrevocable decisions.

What We Do

We create custom simulation models that capture the real-world complexity of a company. This synthesis of subjective knowledge and objective discipline yields valuable insights not available any other way. Our methodology complements and coordinates the actions of all decisions makers by providing them with a CAD tool for engineering profits.

As one client observed, "If you can't quantify and predict outcomes, you're just guessing."

The Benefits

We enable executives to optimize profits by:

• capturing and quantifying their company's hidden knowledge
• applying this knowledge so that they gain deep, innovative insights

• Capture and quantify employee knowledge Identify and rank the most important business drivers Quantify and predict outcomes--including unintended consequences Compare outcomes to prioritize goals and execute with precision
• Respond quickly to changing conditions

Applications

Supplementing work done at Stanford and SRI International, this model has been applied for over ten years in dozens of industries. From emerging companies to large enterprises such as VeriSign, Inc. it has analyzed strategic decisions involving rapid expansion or retrenchment, resource allocation and many other issues.

"VMN Group's financial models provide valuable insights for evaluating our new product proposals. This kind of strategic, 'what-if' information used to take months to generate and was nowhere near as complete." --Ron Johnson, President of RJ Associates
