 Are you a Business Leader with talented, hardworking commercial and IT teams, but still seeing profitability declining or growing less than you know it should?

Are your Marketing and Sales teams struggling, buried in data, but unable to get the information needed to grow your business?

Strat-Wise® can help. We work primarily with the commercial leadership of companies in a wide variety of product and service industries.

If your investment in information systems (e.g. ERP, CRM, BI) is not providing a real competitive advantage and helping your team increase market share, revenue and profit, you are not alone.

Strategic Business Leaders often find their marketing and sales teams struggling to increase profitability because their Business Intelligence is not accurate, clear or strategic; In other words it is inefficient and improperly designed to support commercial operations’ needs.

If your commercial team is frustrated by not being able to get the information they need, they probably realize that your corporate information consists mostly of internal raw data that neither has strategic meaning nor provides the immediate strategic analysis and direction necessary to grow your businesses profitably.

Do You Recognize Any of These Situations?

Your company employs highly competent IT professionals and runs sophisticated enterprise software (ERP, CRM, Business Intelligence) to support the day-to-day operation. However, folks in strategic functions cannot easily and quickly find the information they need to grow market share, revenue and profit.

Your Marketing and Sales organization feel like they are drowning in an ocean of data yet they’re thirsty for the strategic knowledge they need to grow the business. Every time someone needs a quick answer about market share, profitability or growth of a particular market, product line or customer, it takes weeks to go through the process of running the right queries, exporting them to Microsoft Excel, manually cleaning data errors, adding look-ups from other data sources, and finally creating pivot tables to find the right answers. Even worse, they have to go through the entire process over and over again every time they need a progress update, either the following week or at month-end, quarter-end or year-end for each one of the business units and markets you serve. You can’t help but ask, “Is this a good use of my marketing and sales people’s time?” Shouldn’t they be investing that time doing market research or in front of customers finding opportunities to grow the business?

You cannot instantly monitor which parts of the business are ahead of forecast and who is far behind plan and understand why. You know that the growth can vary dramatically across different business units, markets, customers, products and sales people. You need this detailed information to develop an immediate action plan to promote the growth of underperforming areas.

Your team cannot clearly visualize the business opportunity pipeline. Nobody knows whether next year’s growth will be organic, if it will come from new markets or from aggressively taking market share from your competitors and at what price.

You risk losing a major customer because your organization gives the same priority to a five thousand dollar customer as a 50 million dollar one. Outside the commercial areas, your employees cannot recognize your strategic customers— much less understand why you deem them so.

It is nearly impossible to quickly visualize the profitability of global products or develop a Key Account Strategy for global customers. This is a tedious and time consuming manual process because different companies, subsidiaries and business units use disparate and incompatible legacy systems that classify business units, markets, segments, customers and product lines differently. You know there has to be a better way to organize and automate the information so the sum of the country views makes up the regional views and their integration, in turn results in the global view–instantly.

Your sales people seek volume at the expense of profit. Actually, they don’t have a clue about how profitable their customers are across their territories. They have never seen a P&L of their own territories showing which customers and products generate profits and which ones drain cash. If you pay them a commission, shouldn’t it be based on profitable growth and not on volume or revenue?

Business Intelligence is much more than software. Business Intelligence should be a reliable, analytical process that transforms raw data into relevant, accurate and useable strategic knowledge. We use BI software to integrate your enterprise data with your market intelligence and execute this analytical process fast and effectively so your strategic teams can focus on growing your business.

Marketing and Sales folks get the information they need to increase market share, profitability and cash flow. Our electronic Strategic Analysis Toolbox™ help them:

  • Immediately identify the products, customers and markets that drain cash, and visualize the reasons for poor performance and take corrective actions.
  • Find segments that are extraordinarily profitable, understand the reasons behind them and design new products or services to replicate the success.
  • Keep track of the competitive opportunities pipeline and monitor each competitor’s market share.
  • Gain a clear understanding of how profit is generated in each sales territory and stop pursuing unprofitable volume. They will be able to see a profit & loss statement of their territories and for each individual customer and account location instantly.
  • Quickly analyze the profitability of the entire product line at any point in time and eliminate low performing products accordingly.
  • Monitor Product Innovation Metrics fast and regularly. It will be easy to measure the year-to-year profitability progress of new products and the product differentiation-to-commodity index.

As a result of our work, clients have reduced working capital by 42% in as little as three months and increased profitability consistently by 10% per year.

We have transformed raw data into interactive strategic analytics that our internal and external clients have used to increase profitability since 2001.
 We know that our record of success can work for you too.

Strat-Wise, LLC

 Is This for Your Company?

Our clients are companies in a wide variety of product
and service industries.

We work with strategic business leaders
 (CEO's, GM’s, CMO’s, commercial directors, marketing and sales managers) who struggle to get the information they need to improve profitability.

Although our clients come from different industries, they all share the frustration of corporate information that consists mostly of internal raw data.   The problem is that raw data neither has strategic meaning nor provides the immediate strategic analysis and direction necessary for driving profitable growth.

 
Do You Face Any Of These Challenges?

Your company employs highly competent IT professionals and runs sophisticated enterprise software (ERP, CRM, Business Intelligence) to support the day-to-day operation. However, folks in strategic functions cannot easily and quickly find the information they need to grow market share, revenue and profit.
 
Your team cannot easily spot the 40% of your customers that drain your cash flow nor understand the reasons why. If your business is large enough to be statistically significant chances are the top 5% of your customers generate 50% of your profits while the bottom 40% of your customers is likely to generate no profit at all. You need to know at any time of the month, quarter or year exactly which customers fall in each category, and understand the reasons why, in order to drive the profitability distribution towards a higher, more balanced and stable bottom line.

A large portion of team meetings is spent arguing whose data is correct instead of focusing on the critical issues. The numbers generated by Finance do not agree with the analysis performed by Marketing or the explanations provided by Sales. You need a single version of the truth, but different folks run different queries, made different data cleansing assumptions and customized their Excel sheets based on different metrics.
 
Because your organization doesn’t have the information to safely discontinue products, your working capital continues to grow. A bloated product line requires higher inventory levels, clogs your manufacturing efficiency and fills up warehouse space. Everybody agrees they should reduce the number of SKU’s and brands. However, nobody wants to take the risk of irritating, or worse, losing a good customer over a product discontinuation. All the while your working capital is used up on products that don’t contribute.
 
Errors in your business data cause widespread inefficiencies misleading management into potentially expensive decisions. Many folks in your company recognize the transactional data has plenty of errors, at least at the customer, product line and market level, but they never get fixed. Marketing and Sales people think this is an IT problem and expect the data warehouse analysts to fix it, while IT thinks it’s a business problem and expects Sales or Marketing to take action. The result: the data seldom gets corrected, people give-up and running raw or bad data through your expensive systems becomes the norm.

You don’t know how to drive new product profitability since you cannot monitor product innovation metrics quickly and regularly. Your organization invests significantly in R&D, product design and engineering. However, it’s always difficult to measure the year-to-year profitability progress and vitality index of new products and understand if the product differentiation-to-commodity ratio is moving in the right direction. 
  

If you recognized yourself in any of the above scenarios, please continue to read.  You're in the right place.

Clients are likely to be successful working with us if…
 
If the following characteristics fit your company, or your vision for where you want to take your company, you are likely to benefit from our services:
 
Market Driven  -  Your organization has extensive knowledge of the markets, segments and sub-segments where you operate and their dynamics.  You collect and update competitive intelligence and understand that your commercial team’s unlimited access to this knowledge is crucial to ensure your continuous success. 
 
Customer Focused  -  Across your company, employees know your customers deeply and clearly understand how your products and services create value for them.
 
Committed to Innovation -  You strive to achieve value and differentiation in the products and services you offer.  You realize that being able to clearly measure the market and financial performance of new products is key to the profitable growth of your business.
 
Value Strategic Thinking  -
  You understand the difference between raw data and strategic knowledge.  You realize that providing your entire team with instant access to strategic knowledge metrics and analytic tools 
beyond the industry standard 
constitutes a true competitive advantage.
 
Embrace Change.  -
  You understand the need to change.  Business as usual, while comfortable, may not be the solution in the long term.  Your leadership style encourages and supports cultural change from the top down.  
 
Continuous Improvement Mindset. -
 Good enough isn't. You know that continued progress is all that keeps you ahead of the competition.

Willing to invest in those areas where the probability of return is high  -  While your current investment in information technology is designed to support your day-to-day operation efficiently, you know it is not adequate to provide the strategic direction necessary for the long term profitable growth of your business.  You understand that investing to accelerate profitable growth is a necessity.
 
If you fit the profile above, you will certainly benefit from the transformation of your corporate data into strategic knowledge.

 Corporate IQ Test

Would you like to test your organization's Strategic Knowledge I.Q.?
 
If you are interested, please print the following Sample Questions, get a marker and:
 
I. Select ten questions you find most valuable to have answered in your organization.

II. Ask these questions independently to six people (marketing, sales, financial analyst, IT, accounting or business management) requesting confidentiality and a prompt response.

III. Keep track of the time it takes to obtain each answer.

IV. Compare the answers for quality and consistency between respondents.

Note that answering most of these questions should take a few minutes and the answers need to be consistent across the different respondents.

Sample Questions

  • Where are we more profitable: strategic customers, key customers or distributors?

          - Why? Is it due to pricing, volume or product mix?

  • What is our current market share in a particular business unit in Europe?
  • Are our differentiated brands more profitable than the commodity ones? Why?
  • Are our new products more profitable than the old ones? How much? Why?
  • Who are the top 5% of my customers that generate 50% of profits? Why?
  • Who are the customers and what are the products that drain our profits? Why?
  • How much of which product is Sales-rep X supposed to sell to each of his customers in March of next year?

           - What will his profit margin be?  

  • Why is profitability by customer / region / country / business / market segment or sales territory significantly down this month?

          - Is this because we lost volume?

          - Is it product mix?

          - Too many price exceptions?

          - Has raw material cost increased?

          - Has manufacturing cost increased?

          - Have freight / distribution expenses gone up?

          - Combination of which factors?

  • Show me a comparative P&L

          - By region / country / state

          - By market segment / sub-segment

          - By sales representative / distributor

          - By brand / Product line / SKU

          - By product technology

          - By customer location

          - Differentiated products versus commodity products at our distributors

  • Who do our distributors, agents and dealers sell to?

          - In what markets / segments / sub segments?

          - What is their mark-up? / Profitability?

          - What is their new versus old product ratio?

  • What does our opportunity pipeline look like?
  • Which pieces of business are under competitive threat? (By product, competitor and customer location, in units and dollars).
  • What is each of our competitors’ current market share?

Scores:

  • If you got less than 6 answers, they took longer than one day, or the answers are completely different; your BI deployment maybe supporting the back-office operation but it’s unlikely to drive profitable growth since most strategic decisions are based on raw data and intuition. 
  • If you got more than 5 answers within one hour with 50% of the analysts in agreement, you are in the right track but need to refine the process further to compete on analytics.
  • If you got more than 8 answers within one hour and both analysts and casual BI users from different areas agree; your BI deployment has become a competitive advantage that allows the organization to perform strategic and competitive analysis on-the-fly while ensuring a single version of the truth.

Using traditionally deployed corporate information systems will take most companies several weeks to answer some of these complex questions accurately, through analysts’ manual extrapolation of data from many different sources in Excel.

Our Strategic Analytics solution is designed to enable everyone in the organization find accurate answers to thousands of complex questions like these within seconds not days!

7) Your Strategic Customers enjoying the priority service level they deserve.

                                            Our Principles

Business Intelligence is much more than software.   Business Intelligence should be a reliable, analytical process that transforms raw data into relevant, accurate and useable strategic knowledge.  We use BI software to integrate your enterprise data with your market intelligence and execute this analytical process fast and effectively so your strategic teams can focus on growing your business. 


Profitability is not optional.  You are in business for many reasons but the main one is to make a profit.  The whole objective of providing your commercial teams with strategic analysis tools is to help you increase your market share, revenue and net profit.  If we are not fully convinced that our work will improve your profitability we won’t take on the project.

Customer Value.  Our goal is to get your entire team on the same strategic frame of mind; in this way they will be able to have a deeper understanding of the Market-Business-Profit interaction necessary for the creation of value for your customers.

We don't like Bureaucracy.  Processes are important, but if your organization is passionate about complexity or bureaucracy this is not for you.


Our Unique Approach

We are Flexible.  Different clients need different things.  One size does not fit all.  We custom design a Strategic Knowledge System™ that can produce the results your company needs with the least amount of effort.

We spend the time to understand your business its issues and competitive environment.  Our unique approach is to capture your business model in our Strategic Analysis Toolbox™.  Our objective is for everyone on your team to find our system an accurate, intuitive, and easy to use representation of your markets, business and profitability engine and to be excited about using it to grow your business.

We are not IT consultants.  We work very closely with your IT organization however; to ensure your Strategic Analysis Toolbox™ is seamlessly integrated to the transactional data and functioning properly.

We strive for accuracy. Most deployments of business intelligence software contain only tactical data; aiming to serve just the day-to-day operations.  We specialize in exploiting the BI software for the benefit of your strategic functions, those in charge of the profitable growth of your business.

We use a focused 80/20 approach that immediately identifies those products, customers, sales-reps, markets, segments, businesses or regions that drain cash, allowing you to visualize the reasons for poor performance and take corrective actions.  More importantly, we also identify segments that are extraordinarily profitable, so that you can understand the reasons behind them and design new products, services or training programs to replicate their profitability.

What make our consulting stand out are our hands-on experience in marketing & sales, our expertise in automating strategic metrics in a user friendly manner and teaching people across the organization how to use them for maximum bottom line return.

 Client Results - Case Studies


As their market share approached 45%, a midsize global business-to-business company was struggling just to achieve modest, GDP level growth
.  The commercial organization and strategic leadership team completely adopted the daily use of our Strategic Analysis Toolbox™.
 
Within a few months of implementation, the commercial team was completely addicted to the convenience of making decisions using the strategic tools. They were able to visualize market, business and profit reality, accurately and in real time like no previous business intelligence (BI) implementation did before.
  • The strategic teams did not have to manipulate data in Excel to find trends as they were clearly delivered by the strategic tools, saving precious time. 

  • In addition, the analyses run by Finance were in agreement with those run by Marketing and Sales. They all shared a single version of the truth. 
  • Marketing People would run the tools constantly in the background of their PC's to check sales & profit progress of their respective market segments and territories versus a previous period and business plan and understand the reasons behind deviations. 
  • Everyone could see the most impactful competitive opportunities and threats in real time.
  • Sales people were able to clearly monitor profitability of their territories by customer, location and product. They were able to proactively start the week knowing whether they had gained or lost business to a competitor or their customer had gained or lost market share, and develop the week’s action plan accordingly.  

    As a result, they increased market share from 45% to 60% in four years, driving profitability and cash flow along with it, simply by understanding market and business metrics far better and much sooner than their competitors did. 

    A Small Transportation Company had a myriad of static reports, each containing thousands of pages. Management had to go through those reports every week to understand business performance. In addition, they had to perform extensive manual extrapolation and analysis in Microsoft Excel to generate metrics and advanced reports not included in their basic ERP reports.

    After the implementation of the Strategic Analysis Toolbox™, management was able to pinpoint issues or areas in need of attention instantly. This saved many hours and eliminated the tedious task of going through thousands of pages of data; allowing them to make a more productive use of executives’ time.


    A mid-size specialty products company had grown consistently through new products. But over time, their product line had grown to an unmanageable 1,300 SKU’s. This required higher working capital to maintain the necessary inventory levels. In addition, the extensive product line was clogging their manufacturing efficiency and filling the warehouse space. Many folks in the organization agreed they should reduce the number of SKU’s and brands; however nobody wanted to take the risk of irritating, or worse, losing a strategic customer over a product discontinuation.
     
    After careful analysis of the client’s sales by product and customer, it was obvious that 80% of the profit was generated by only 20% of the SKU’s. This means that the top 20% of the SKU’s were 16 times more profitable than the bottom 80%. After taking a deeper look into the situation we found the top 5% of the products, the real stars, contributed 50% of the profit, while the bottom 40% of the SKU’s was not contributing any profit at all. This analysis made the first pass at selecting product candidates for rationalization a lot easier. The second step was to use the Strategic Knowledge System™ to evaluate the individual customer situation related to each of the SKUs singled out for rationalization.

    The final result was the reduction of the product line from 1,300 SKU’s down to 400 SKU’s, without losing any business or irritating any customers. This exercise resulted in $800,000 of annual savings, as the process continued every year in order to keep the product line stable at around 400 SKUs and the inventory level under control.
    Working closely with Supply Chain, Marketing and Sales teams moved 25% of inventoried SKUs into made-to-order status on a yearly basis. They achieved an additional savings of $750,000 annually.
     
    Based on the success obtained by optimizing the product portfolio, the 80/20 Analysis and Strategy was extended to map and understand the profitability distribution of customers, dealers, market segments and R&D success rates and continuously optimize profitability.

How I got involved with electronic Strategic Analysis Tools.  For a long time I had had a passion for the exact sciences, and a fascination with the way math and logic support the thinking processes that drive technical innovation as well as business improvement.  I love metrics, all kind of metrics, from the physical and chemical units to the financial, business and market metrics.
 
I think the value of the scientific method is the ability to make accurate predictions beyond the physical world and into the business world.  The immediate business application is to influence and exploit the outcome of those predictions better and before than our competitors, in order to increase market share, revenue and profit.

Over many years working in marketing and sales I felt firsthand the frustration of realizing that the deployment of expensive and sophisticated Business Intelligence software, while acceptable to most tactical functions in many companies, was not at all helpful to me and other marketing and sales folks.

Eventually, I realized that corporate information consists mostly of internal raw data.   Although internal data is necessary to manage logistic or tactical areas like, supply chain, manufacturing, accounts receivable, transportation, accounts payable or customer service; it is far from enough to perform marketing and sales management jobs effectively.  The reason is simple, raw data neither has strategic meaning nor provides the immediate strategic analysis and direction necessary to grow the business profitably.

Having spent time understanding the wonderful capabilities of Business Intelligence software I knew there had to be a better way to handle your data—I became determined to move the use of BI software to the next level: to perform strategic analysis interactively and on the fly in order to grow the business.  This is how I got involved with the Strat-Wise concept.  Today I love seeing how Marketing and Sales people successfully use the Strategic Analysis Toolbox™ to make the right decisions quickly and repeatedly.
