Strategic Analytics

We deploy rigorous analytic thinking, data analysis and programming to help organizations improve their products and processes.

Our approach, developed over 20 years of consulting within managed care organizations, enables you to clarify and focus on the key questions. Data and quantitative methods are then brought to bear on the problem, producing a customized result that allows you to move forward.

Areas we can help with include:

Decision models - To innovate efficiently, firms must make careful, considered judgments in a highly complex world. However, the interactions of many different products and underlying health care trends makes choosing among alternatives difficult, often forcing executives to base their choices on instincts or emotions. We develop “what-if” models, based on quantitative and qualitative factors, that enable managers to fully explore the interrelationships of data and assumptions in order to make superior decisions.

Value statements and reporting - To retain and grow business, firms must be able to demonstrate the value of their products and services. We help companies articulate and measure product effectiveness and then develop quantitative value statements for prospective marketing and retrospective reporting.

Product evaluations - To compete successfully, firms must know whether their products and vendors' services are working as planned. However, internal group performance may be spun for political purposes and vendors' own assessments may be wildly optimistic or biased. We provide independent and objective data-based evaluations that shed light on true program performance.

Scorecards - To manage effectively, firms must measure both operational efforts and product performance. We take this one step further by designing scorecards that link operational metrics with key value metrics to enable management to track and adjust internal operations while understanding the impact of the firm's products.
