7. The CEO’s Lament in the Business
Analytics Market
• We did not see it coming. All my
Divisions’ Analytics pointed
North while my Business as a
whole (in comparison to new
competitors and the Best-In-
Class in multiple industries) went
South.

• We did not see it coming. All our
HR’s Analytics pointed North
while our Business as a whole (in
comparison to new competitors
and the Best-In-Class across
multiple industries) went South.

9. Disrupting the Way we Measure
Corporate Risk and Performance
There are three main problems:
1. The lack of a single industry-agnostic scale to
measure and predict Corporate
strategy/execution (competitive advantage)
leads to erroneous and inconsistent C-Level
decision-making
2. Silos-analytics lead to erroneous C-level
decisions based on many versions of the truth
3. Lack of C-Level risk and performance visibility
accentuated by inward-looking industry metrics
8/22/2013 9WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM
10. Silos Analytics Lead to Many Versions
of the Truth and Erroneous Decisions
8/22/2013 10WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM
11. Towards a Single Index to Measure
Competitive Advantage
• Comparing the elephant legs or ears against
peers’ legs or ears leads to incorrect
conclusions (This is what traditional
benchmarking does)
• The strategy/execution or competitive
advantage of a Business can only be assessed
holistically and it is not the sum of its parts
8/22/2013 11WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM
12. Towards a Single Index to Measure
Competitive Advantage
SIMMETHOD’s industry-agnostic algorithm holistically
finds the Best-In-Class Businesses in each Business
Sector and only then calculates a Best-In-Class and a
low performance profile. These Best-In-Class and Low
Performance profiles are used as a GPS to:
• Alert you of your risk and opportunities within and
outside your Business Sector,
• Predict your performance against your peers and the
Best-In-Class across multiple Business Sectors and
• Fend-off current and future competitors coming from
inside and outside your industry.
8/22/2013 WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM 12
13. Towards a Holistic Index of Corporate &
Value-Chain Performance and Risk
• Currently, there is no single
industry-agnostic scale to measure
and predict Business or Value-Chain
strategy/execution (competitive
advantage).
• Conventional Benchmarking
measures silo by silo (ratio by ratio)
and then adds up the sum of the
parts but the problem is that (a star
team is not the same as a team of
stars)
8/22/2013 13WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM
14. A Star Team (Strategy/Execution) Is
Different Than a Team of Stars
8/22/2013 WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM 14
• Unlike conventional analytics
that measures 11 players
independently, SIMMETHOD’s
algorithm finds the Best-In-
Class teams first and only then
prepares a predictive C-Level
and functional profile of the
Best-In-Class players

risk and performance are impacted by an
ecosystem of constantly changing
competitors coming from inside
