management should be trained
in this”

“Never took a course in all my
years that was so intensive yet
incredibly interesting”

Business Strategy Analysis

Sustained success in demanding markets requires a distinctive competitive edge:
Imagine being able to examine the performance of your business over the next
several years...and being able to test, "well, what if... ".  System dynamics
modeling can provide the means of diagnosing the seemingly intractable,
foreseeing the unexpected, and finding testable approaches that yield
high-leverage and sustainable business success.

Training Programs

"Change Impact Assessment  became a
central element of the project team's change
management protocol.  Over $6,000,000 of
impact costs were recovered, all attributed to
this analysis.  More importantly, a client
behavior change was achieved through the
use of the tool."
-International Energy Co.
Oil and Gas Project
"The tool is probably one of the most
significant tools to come out for our industry
since the introduction of PERT and CPM”.
-International EPC Firm
Senior Executive

"A cost-schedule analysis saved the project
up to 300,000 hours of labor cost."

Implementing In-House Systems
Simulation-based training can be the
most effective method for gaining and
communicating knowledge.  We
design and execute training programs
to meet the client's needs for
management and system users.  
In-house implementation and use of these models provides even greater leverage
and benefits to clients.  Our implementation process is a global award winner.  
Project and program simulation models enable the client to examine future
performance under different 'what if' conditions.
Multi-project Analysis
We provide multi-project analysis for executive management, illuminating
patterns, trends and best practices across projects in the company.
