Our mission is to facilitate rational business and technical decisions in situations of uncertainty. To that end we offer consulting, training and contract services in decision making and information management. Our unique combination of management consulting and technical expertise in data analysis, statistics, predictive modeling and stochastic simulation is suitable for areas as diverse as HSE and R&D.

We emphasize a rational and structured approach to problem solving, but we never forget the human dimension and we pay particular attention to organizational impact and change management issues.

Expertise areas

We focus on the Oil & Gas, Chemical and Consumer Goods industries, however much of our expertise applies cross-industry, e.g. risk modeling, portfolio optimization, forecasting, decision methodology, and scenario building and simulation.
