Planning & Strategy
Business planning is usually a time of anxiety and uncertainty in corporations. The process can take months and is often a back-and-forth between the resource managers and the people requesting funds to support their initiatives.
Business unit managers often work with their own team members to set priorities, which they then communicate to senior leadership. The result is several sets of varying priorities that may or may not benefit the company as a whole in the long run.
In addition, in most organizations, the decisions associated with business planning are made over table conversations where strong personalities can determine the direction the company will take, whether or not it's the right direction for the organization.
People really don't understand how their investments affect the future. Decision Lens puts it all in one place. This is a much-needed tool in corporate America.

Decision Lens Suite is a decision-making software program that can assist your organization in analyzing your business-planning options. Our decision support software uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is depended on for smart decision making in over 40 countries.
Business-planning decision makers use Decision Lens Suite to develop weighted decision criteria through a facilitated process where participants derive the relative importance of each decision criterion to the overall goal.
After decision makers have developed a value model representing the relative importance of their business objectives, decision makers evaluate alternative choices to determine which ones help the organization accomplish its mission.
Decision makers have the ability to perform "what-if" analysis, where they change criteria weights and instantly see how changes in priorities would affect the way in which resources should be allocated.
Our clients have found that decision makers achieve a more optimal allocation of resources by using an integrated methodology to look across the business than business unit managers making decisions in isolation.
