Concentra is different from most strategic consultancies. Our experience in working with advanced modeling techniques and computational algorithms, in the fields of risk management, marketing strategy, capacity planning and supply chain , is one of our strongest assets - allowing us to truly help enterprises deal with increasingly large volumes of complex information.
However, we look at technology as an enabler, not an end in itself - this means that we highlight strategy in everything we do. We start by asking the right questions; then we dig deep into the numbers, using world-class modeling techniques as the basis for creating client-focused solutions.
Our intellectual toolkit of modeling skills includes:
- Stochastic Processes
- Monte Carlo
- Bootstrapping
- Simulation algorithms
- Game theory techniques
- Optimisation algorithms
We find the critical success factors in efforts to model reality are:
Knowing when and how to apply the appropriate technique to solve a problem
We are technology agnostic when it comes to modelling and excel at finding the right
combination of technique and platform to meet client needs throughout the lifespan
of solution development
Finding the correct level of complexity
When modelling there is often a temptation to overcomplicate and turn a business
problem into an academic exercise. We have a team of business minded individuals
that have been professionally trained in modelling techniques and mathematical theory.
Communication
Outputs of a modelling exercise are only as useful as they are trusted. Building
trust requires not only quality output, but also professional change management
capabilities. We pride ourselves on our ability to bring our clients along a path
of modelling business problems and in doing so giving them a clear understanding
of not only the outputs, but also the inputs, and the concepts that link the two
together.
