Services

We help business manage and steer systems subject to the dynamic and emergent nature of complexity.

By their very nature, complex systems proliferate uncertainty: An outcome for today cannot be assumed for tomorrow. All too often, an individual is tasked with managing complex projects, with scarce time and money. They are often unable to cope when faced with ineffectual processes and IT systems that seem more about reporting about a project than steering it to success.

With years of experience working on projects large and small, we understand that the individual responsible for a project holds the key to success. They cannot be replaced by an IT system or driven by a rigid project methodology. The approach we take is to broaden the capacity of the individual to cope with complexity.

Our services are designed to be ‘live’ in the project

Look Behind You

Look behind you! - Seeing the complete system:-
Unique visual tools to widen your view of a system.

Our tools are developed to work as a system emerges. The insights they give help identify when systems diverge from their planned operation and when signs of chaotic behavior appear.

Holding a complex system in your mind is nearly impossible. The ability to view the full complexity of a system, in a simple visual way, enables those responsible for complex systems to manage them better. Helping to avoid that moment when unexpected events emerge, apparently from nowhere, to wreck the best laid plans.

Look Behind You

Are we there yet? - Dynamic feedback and monitoring:-
Getting the right information at the right time and using it to reduce the risk of failure.

Knowing what to monitor and how often is critical if complex systems are to deliver what was planned.

Monitor too much, too often and time is lost, and budgets squeezed. Monitor too little, too infrequently and complex systems will diverge from plan or worse, descend into chaotic instability.

We help identify what to monitor, how often and how to use data to feedback corrections into a system before problems arise.

Look Behind You

That wasn't what I ordered! - Dealing with the unexpected:-
Emergent systems, variable risk and increasing robustness to unexpected change.

Expecting the unexpected by design! Over time the way an emergent system behaves will be unexpected. We help reveal the key underlying elements that together drive unexpected behavior. These are unique for every system and will vary as time passes.

A key part of managing complex systems, we help increase the robustness to whatever unexpected behaviors emerge in a system, at the moment they happen, to reduce the risk of failure.

Look Behind You

The data clearly shows. - Lies, damn lies and real-world data:-
Understanding, interpreting and using data to complete a successful project.

Handling real world data is challenging and largely misunderstood. Using this type of data to drive a desired system change, rather than just an audit, is rarely tackled well.

Missing data, bad data, incomplete data: Real data!

We have over 25 years experience with real world data, understanding it, analyzing it and using it. Real world data must be an integral part of complex systems. Only real world data can be used to manage a system in the real world – we show you how.
