Many organizations view their internal functions as independent to external factors, or wait too long to link the two together, often to severe consequences.

Regardless of where you being your journey with Greater Than > Analytics, we keep our core principles of everything and all things are interconnected in mind when conducting our analysis to bring you a deeper understand of why your performance is as it is and a clearer direction of what needs to occur to maximize outcomes and achieve your mission and margin objectives. 

 

Two key factors outside of the norm that often go overlooked is the connections between employee satisfaction & engagement to customer experience and a customer’s ability to "engage" with a product or organization moving beyond the transaction to becoming emotionally attached to it.

operational performance, which directly impacts sales and therefore financial performance. 

Examining processes and procedures to create an understanding / education that performing well does not mean that you are not maximizing results (i.e. you can be doing even better).

Adding or deleting products from your portfolio of offerings allows you to save money, maximize revenues and allows you to stay relevant and sustainability for years to come. 

Strategic Planning

Strategic Planning / implementation
- Turning insights into A PLAN -

Effective Strategic Planning occurs when an organization has thoroughly examined both market and operational factors to make sure everything is aligned and working together to achieve maximum results.  The intersection between the two allows organizations to be highly efficient and proactively make decisions in this highly competitive and changing environment. 

Greater Than > Analytics, with over twenty-five years of applying both quantitative and qualitative research techniques, understands how to effectively and efficiently use internal and external information, to provide the needed insights to guide the strategic planning process for organizations.

performance indicators
- tracking against objectives -

PERFORMANCE IND

Once a plan is implemented, a critical next step is to establish metrics to track against the plan.

Performance Indicators are there to serve two primary functions:

1)  Track against core goals and objectives

2)  Become more proactive in the decision-making process - to course correct as needed to ensure goals / objectives are met or adjust them to capitalize on new opportunities.

Level Setting from our internal and external factor analysis provides baseline metrics to establish our performance indicators.  

However, with almost an infinite number of indicators that an organization can measure it is easy to get distracted by measuring the wrong ones, or not understanding when to act when trends are not performing as expected.

Our process allows organizations to understand the variables that are needed to appropriately measure against their strategic objectives, while keeping on an eye on other less dominant factors, that may impact long-term goals.  

Although factors will shift depending on size of organization you find yourself within, the following can be thought of as universal in nature.
