Toolkit
“…I think 80 percent of the time the best decision is waiting to be found. You’re not guessing; you just do your homework, get the right people, and you find it. It just kind of surfaces out of the work and the analysis and the thought.” - Jamie Dimon, CEO, JPM Chase
Our Approach Draws From Multiple Disciplines
- Break down each business challenge into factors, similar to the McKinsey MECE way (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive), and then arrive at a ’solution set’ using our experience and our Knowledge Base. So Alpha Neuron is as a system fed by experiences of a wide range of business professionals, that has 1300+ business challenges and solutions from different industries, interlinked after rigorous analysis.
- Simulate problem solving approaches of successful executives from different industries. For example: Andrew Grove of Intel evaluating the potential a new technology, Bill Gates of Microsoft increasing market share, or Laxmi Mittal of Arcelor Mittal Steel doing business consolidation.
- We also emphasize on visual structuring of a business challenge, because it has been proven to put more of your brain power to use. When the elements of a difficult decision are represented visually, we often discover links and insights that we had missed using numbers or text. In fact, our Asset Web (shown above) is an example of exactly such approach.
- Leverage New Findings: Some of the questions in our work are: How do executives gather and arrange information? Now that decision X worked in Industry A, what can make it work in industry B? How to factor varying risk-reward tolerance? We are also constantly trying to factor in research findings from leading institutions like the Harvard Medical School and the Decision Sciences group at MIT.
Our approach is unique and our toolkit represents the Intellectual Property that we use to help our members and clients.
