analyse
In making decisions it’s important to look at the future. But ‘future’ always implies uncertainty. In our approach we therefore stress the importance of looking ahead. We don’t predict but we explore possible futures, together with our clients and stakeholders. We look at objectives in their mutual relationships, to finally reach substantiated and balanced decisions. During this proces scenario-analysis provides us with insight into the effects of (proposed) measures, and how they interrelate.
simulate
In our approach we define different scenarios with which we can perform simulations, so in the end we can see the effects of certain measures on the targeted variables. In these scenario-analysis the effects can be compared and alternative scenarios defined for mitigating measures. Uncertainty about made assumptions and model structures, is made visible in the model results and the targeted variables. Further optimization can be achieved by additional (optimization-) analysis, to arrive at an optimal balance of goals. Result of this analysis phase is insight in the potential for improvement: where are opportunities for improvement located and what is the bandwidth within which this can be realised?
