monitor
It is not enough to have goals and a roadmap or improvement plan in which actions are defined. The main thing is to carry out actions, so the roadmap is fleshed out and goals are achieved. This however doesn’t happen overnight. Improvement processes are often complex in itself, because of the many stakeholders involved or by changing circumstances and insights. The progress of improvements in relation to the set goals can be mapped out by adjusting the scenario-analysis and the model. With the input of current (new) data, roadmap and improvement plan can be re-assessed. In this way the model functions as a joint ‘knowledge instrument’, as a means of communication for improvement.
insight
In the monitoring-phase we look at the progress of improvements by using the model and scenario analysis. Monitoring offers clients and stakeholders insight into the effects of changing circumstances, of new data or of changed insights. Periodic use of the model promotes the success rate of improvements, it calibrates the current situation against the set goals and it identifies measures for the next step. The model and its outcomes are a commonly supported frame of reference for the stakeholders involved. This form of action learning has an activating effect and is a way for organizations to learn, based on change dynamics.

asset dynamics
asset management
Asset Dynamics focuses on the functioning of physical capital goods in the dynamic context in which they operate. Changing circumstances can have a major impact on the entire system. To get a better grip Copernicos uses Asset Dynamics: a modeling and simulation environment for scenario analysis. Asset Dynamics provides insight into future performance (including functional, safety, environmental and financial performances) based on proposed measures.
storm
innovation management
With our STORM method we systemically map societal challenges. We do so in order to get more insight into measures and innovations that will lead to better performance (of assets) in the future. Many of the problems we now face – such as climate change, climate adaptation, mobility, safety and sustainable living environments – are complex: many parties are involved and often there are many innovative ideas for improvement. So, the question is how to make good, balanced decisions in this multi-goal and multi-stakeholder context? STORM can help.
