Business Models Generation

Ultimately, Business Model Innovation is about creating Value.

Value for your company, your customers and the market place. How do you imagine your organisation's business model might look in two,five, or ten years from now?

We will introduce you to a range of business models helping you identify the one that suits your business. We specialise in creating business models from a blank canvas, guiding you through the nine key principles that will become the building blocks of your enterprise.

Whether you are starting up a new business or already running one, you will be able to review your current model, compare it against your competitors and improve your organisation's performance.

Data Analysis and Integration

Whatever your business, big or small, public or private, you will be surrounded by data, in many formats; numbers or words. Through data analysis we can help provide:

  • Meaningful representation and answers to those questions your organisation may be asking
  • Decisions based on evidence through statistical representations
  • Clear understanding of your data and what it means to your organisation
  • Recommendations based on evidence
  • Process improvement through six sigma methodologies

But data analysis cannot provide a meaningful representation if organisations cannot trust the data that they have, this is done through Data Governance. Data governance ensures that data can be trusted and that people can be made accountable for any adverse event that happens because of low data quality. It is about putting people in charge of fixing and preventing issues with data so that the enterprise can become more efficient. When companies desire, or are required, to gain control of their data, they empower their people, set up processes and get help from technology to do it. We will work with you to ensure your data is 'clean' and can stand up to any scrutiny or auditing from outside inspection bodies.

Research Analysis

Finding out what your customers think of your products and services is essential for the success of your business.

We can help you:

  • Decide what type of research will be most effective for your business
  • Design survey questionnaires
  • Run a test or sample to refine your survey
  • Conduct the research on your behalf
  • Collate and analyse results producing a final report

  • Rikki was brought in to do a set piece of work for Barnet Children's Centres around achieving childcare at cost neutral. Rikki worked with senior officers engaging them to think outside of the box – and to think that the childcare element of the centre was a business unit. Rikki developed a childcare business model for the centres to use in developing strategies for cost neutral. She has been an easy going individual and very receptive to the challenges that Barnet Council has presented.
