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

It is hard to prevent what you do not
know!

• Measure and predict the risk and
performance of your Business in relation to
your competitors and the Best-In-Class across
multiple industries and
• Reduce the risk associated with your C-Level

SIMMETHOD™
Methodology

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
of the Best-In-Class
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.

• SIMMETHOD’s League Table, Strategy/

• Sometimes, the value of a metric in itself
does not provide the greatest of insights, but
valuable actionable knowledge is gained
from its ability to provide a trend or a
common comparison yardstick with other
Businesses across a range of industries.
