Strategy, IT & Data Advisory
Independent advisory at the intersection of business strategy, technology execution, and data analytics.
Typical situations:
- A complex operational or regulatory challenge requires structured analysis and clear decision framing
- Major technology, data, or operating model decisions require independent assessment
- Incentive structures, governance models, or performance frameworks need redesign
- High-impact initiatives require disciplined execution with measurable outcomes
What we deliver:
- Strategy
- Operating model design
- Quantitative modelling
- Executive decision support
How we engage:
- Focused discovery sessions and structured problem framing
- Analytical deep dives, modelling, and scenario evaluation
- Clear documentation, decision mapping, and governance design
- Rapid PoCs to validate feasibility and ROI
- Optional technical implementation support where it strengthens execution
Specialist modelling: Demand & Capacity Model
Typical challenges:
- Uncertain or seasonal demand makes resource planning unreliable
- Limited transparency into service levels, backlogs, and utilization
- Difficulty quantifying the impact of hiring, outsourcing, or automation decisions
- Need for structured scenario modeling under volatile conditions
What we deliver:
- Integration of historic operational data into a structured, reusable planning model
- Simulation of supply and demand dynamics using non-linear and ensemble forecasting methods (e.g., KNN regression, Prophet, ETS) to capture seasonality, demand shocks, and structural shifts beyond spreadsheet-based approaches
- Interactive dashboards to test strategic levers and quantify impact on capacity, cost, and service levels
- Clear executive summaries translating model output into concrete decisions
Engagement notes:
- Custom-built models tailored to your operational context
- Designed for executive-level planning and repeatable scenario testing
- Served as the analytical backbone of a year-long transformation at a large insurer to model demand volatility and redesign call center capacity, staffing mix, and service-level targets
Specialist modelling: Remuneration & Incentive Model
Typical challenges:
- Remuneration logic is fragmented across multiple tools, spreadsheets, and legacy systems
- Excel-based modeling cannot reliably process production-level data, leading to oversimplification and uncertainty around true cost and incentive effects
- Organizational reluctance to adjust incentive systems due to fear of unintended knock-on effects
- As a result, remuneration frameworks remain largely unchanged despite evolving strategic priorities
What we deliver:
- Ingestion and structuring of production data (millions of records)
- Reconstruction of existing remuneration logic across roles, fixed salary components, variable pay, and bonus schemes
- Dynamic simulation model enabling adjustment of key levers (targets, weightings, thresholds, caps)
- Quantified impact analysis on cost base, payout distribution, and performance incentives
- Decision-ready outputs to support executive and board-level discussions
Engagement notes:
- Simulation of As-Is situation via "baseline" scenario in a first step to prove model is aligned to operational realities
- Designed for iterative scenario testing and structured redesign discussions
- Served as the analytical backbone for strategic review of remuneration at large insurance
Time-Critical Document Analytics (Legal & Regulatory)
Typical situations:
- Large volumes of PDFs or scanned documents must be analyzed within strict deadlines
- Regulatory, legal, or audit processes require structured evidence
- Manual extraction would be too slow or error-prone
Our approach:
- Rapid deployment of OCR and structured extraction pipelines
- Batch processing and file manipulation at scale
- Structured outputs for legal teams, compliance, or regulators
- Full traceability of extracted data and document references
Engagement model:
- Initial setup: 1-3 days (depending on document complexity)
- Tailored extraction logic: 2-3 weeks (depends on scope)
- Secure API or structured export delivery
- Impact depends on volume and regulatory context
