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.

The Employee’s Lament in the
Business Analytics Market
• 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.

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

Silos Analytics Lead to Many Versions
of the Truth and Erroneous Decisions

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

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.

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)

A Star Team (Strategy/Execution) Is
Different Than a Team of Stars
• 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

The Leading Indicators and Risk Alerts

Why do you need Industry Agnostic Leading
indicators and Risk/Opportunities Alerts?
• In an interdependent Market (like the Planets
in the solar system) your current and future
risk and performance are impacted by an
ecosystem of constantly changing
competitors coming from inside
and outside your Industry.

does not provide the greatest of insights, but

SIMMETHOD Competitive Intelligence
In a market where industry-barriers
have collapsed and new competitors
can come from any industry, how do
you measure and predict your
future risk and performance and
fend-off current and future
competitors?

SIMMETHOD’s Strategy/Execution Performance
Predictive Indices:
• Rate your management’s ability to strategize
and execute against your peers and the Best-
In-Class in multiple industries,
• Show the strengths and weaknesses of your
Business in relation to your peers, current
and potential future competitors and
• Are a predictive indication of future
threats/opportunities from within and
outside your industry.

• In a constantly fluctuating Market and unlike
static ratios that do not capture the dynamic
relationships between Businesses and Value
Chains, SIMMETHOD™ industry-agnostic
composite indices measure the interactive
relationships (competitive advantage)
between Businesses and Value Chains across
every Business Sector and provide early
warning alerts of future threats and
opportunities.
