Strategic Planning

Linking investments to long term forecasts and strategic plan...

Barometrix software supports the evaluation of multiple long range and strategic planning scenarios by quantifying the impact of investments and corporate change over long term planning horizons (3, 5, 10, 10+ years). Scenarios assessed include:

• Long Range Planning - Forecasting organizational performance over 3+ years leveraging existing operating structures and core competencies.
• Strategic Planning - Assessing strategic alternatives that fundamentally change the nature of an organization. Strategies assessed include:

o Sale of Assets
o Mergers and Acquisitions
o Strategic Reorganization

• Contingency Planning - Planning for a disruption in business or operating plans due to factors such as:

  o One-time Business Disasters
  o Business Disasters with Aftershock Affects
  o Work Stoppage (Strikes)

By quantifying the impact of various planning scenarios, managers gain insight into non-intuitive factors that can re-shape long term plans. Barometrix supports sophisticated planning scenarios that allow managers to assess corporate key performance indicators (KPI's) based on perceived targets and test assumptions to determine if the path to success is achievable and consistent with long term objectives.
