Organisations are very complicated. Confidential or Shared, interrogate-able forecasting models are the most powerful tools any organisation, from micro-enterprises to international giants, can use.
Before attending planning-meetings, the delegates, from 2 to 200,000 can test their proposals and their colleagues’ proposals – study the likely outcomes and balance the factors, and attend the meetings with fuller knowledge of all the main consequences of change. Project Planning Tools save a fortune in time that can be lost through misinformation, which in turn may create ill-informed and lengthy arguments.
While some forward planning matters must remain confidential to a few key officers and players, it often pays to allow wider access to your forward planning. Commission us create the forecasting model – driven by key questions and variable settings – in a format that most can understand and utilise – and post it on your intranet or via the internet where all those who might contribute can try their ideas, in private, before they take up everyone’s time with plans that have not considered all the factors.
Shared Models: The Royal Society, 10 years ago, launched Tomorrow’s Company with the powerful message of ‘inclusiveness’. Organisations which increase access to internal information and invite suggestions on operations, have been proved to be far more profitable or effective than closed organisations. Many instances have been cited: (1) an early use of plans published on desk-top Amstrad computers on every desk in a London metals refinery enabled the yard gatekeeper to buttonhole the CEO and tell the CEO that their plans to rebuild the loading and unloading sheds and yards did not allow enough room for new types of lorries. The CEO said the error would have cost them millions of pounds. (2) Ford cars published their plans for the then new Ford Mondeo, in contradiction to all the wisdom of the motor industry, giving shared access to designers, engineers, production line workers, test drivers, salesmen, service garages, distributors, parts manufacturers, transporters, insurers, finance companies and all who would be involved. The CFO said it saved half of the traditional costs of creating a new model – tens of millions of pounds.
A Project Planning Tool, that can be easily used and understood such as the examples given here, will help your business. Some can be created in a week, others take months to make, test and prove; however long it takes – it is always worth it. Try these samples.

TELEWORK – THE COSTS & BENEFITS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
How does Teleworking 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days a week compare with traditional commuting to the work-place. What time is saved – or lost – and how much is gained or what will it cost the teleworkers and their families?

HEALTH AND MEMBERS CLUBS – THE BUSINESS MODEL
How much space is needed for 1,000 or 100,000 members. If the membership fee changes and the members’ attrition rates fluctuate – is the operation still viable. How many staff are needed and what will they cost. What’s the investment into property and what does it cost to maintain? Will we make a profit?
