In order to plan efficiently and optimise structural decision making, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of the impact of decisions before they are taken.

This insight is not always easy to achieve given the complexity of most large organisations. At The Asset Partnership, we have achieved a lot of success in developing structural models of organisations from both operational and economic perspectives. The benefits to be obtained from developing these models include:

• They provide a platform that allow organisations to trade off numerous "what if?" scenarios in order to optimise their strategic decision making from a value perspective
• They crystallise the important dynamic relationships that drive the economics of the organisation and present this insight to all levels of users
• They allow users to quantify "bottle necks" within the organisation and find ways of mitigating these
• They allow for dynamic budgeting. Budgets can be re-generated at the touch of a button once assumptions or macro-economic variables change

An example of the integrated nature of a typical economic model of an organisation is given in the hierarchy chart below. If you have complex, recurring decisions that need to be made in your organisation, speak to us about building a customised model of your organisation and helping you to use it to maximise value.
