STRATEGY & PLANNING

With our sound understanding of business, we develop market, operational and financial models that may be linked to reflect the operation of the overall organisation.

• Market models based on market research and market analysis, covering factors such as estimation of market volumes, price elasticity of demand and its effects on volumes and revenues, competition analysis and channel strategy
• Financial models that provide cash flow and balance sheet analyses, scenario analysis based on alternative views of markets and competition, and assessment of potential project or value at each stage of its life.
• Operational models encompassing workflow, location and capacity that give statistical analyses of performance.
• Network models including broadband access, CATV, mobile and fixed network models that determine the minimum or typical costs associated with particular infrastructures .
• Models of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that assess the likely impact of service level agreements on business performance given an understanding of the underlying operational performance of networks and systems.

Such models have been used to:

• Evaluate business opportunities and development of plans for new businesses and services
• Assess the bid value of mobile licences
• Assess the values of CATV franchises
• Develop a business plan for a “one phone” combined fixed and mobile phone service
• Determine subsidy levels for broadband infrastructure in rural and remote locations
• Cost network infrastructure for a competitive bid to provide a state of the art network for Universities
• Analyse Risks associated with SLAs for managed banking networks
