Options

Unlimited options with the facility to group similar ones. Notes for each options for attaching files and images.

Value Tree

Value Tree

Criteria are displayed as a tree.

Weighting

Weighting

Sophisticated yet practical displays for swing weighting.

Scoring

Scoring

Multiple displays for scoring to suit the criteria.

Results - Bar Chart

Results - Bar Chart

Bar chart of overall results.

Results - Costs vs. Benefits

Results - Costs vs. Benefits

Scatter chart of costs against benefits. Displaying real-world costs if available plus a third dimension (bubble size) to display if required.

Results - Strengths & Weaknesses

Results - Strengths & Weaknesses

Identify which criteria are driving the result.

Sensitivity - Individual Weights

Sensitivity - Individual Weights

At what weight would the overall result change?

Sensitivity - Value Mapping

Sensitivity - Value Mapping

What changes if the value mapping is different to what you have used?

Sensitivity - Scores

Sensitivity - Scores

What is the range is scores are not point estimates? Does that change the decision?

Sensitivity - Stakeholders Viewpoints

Sensitivity - Stakeholders Viewpoints

What changes if different stakeholders have different weighting?

Sensitivity - Correlation

Sensitivity - Correlation

Are any of the criteria positively or negatively correlated? i.e. double counted?

Platinum. Efficient Frontier

Platinum. Efficient Frontier

Displays all possible combinations of options/projects. The frontier in orange is the theoretical best combination of projects for a given cost. Blue dots illustrate portfolios of projects manually created to compare with the theoretical "best".

Platinum. Categories and Portfolios

Platinum. Categories and Portfolios

Display showing how to separate projects by department and show which ones are in a portfolio.

Platinum. Buffers

Platinum. Buffers

Force in (or out) projects. For example "Must Dos" or "Can't Stop". This reduces the projects and money available to compete with the remainder of funds.

Platinum. Scores

Platinum. Scores

Display the scores. Use to determine spends per year for a portfolio as well as the overall cost-benefit. Used to meet cash flow / affordability requirements.

Platinum. Dependencies

Platinum. Dependencies

Define how projects relate to each others in terms of costs and benefits. Does carrying out two projects together add (or detract) from the overall benefit of them carried out individually? Can you do one project but not another one at the same time?

Nine Windows

Nine Windows

Look at the problem from different angles.

System Mapping

System Mapping

Identify the components of the system and their relationships. Define the functions being carried out and assess strengths, weaknesses and contradictions. Can also be used for Value Stream Mapping and Conflict Resolution Diagrams.

Root Cause Analysis

Root Cause Analysis

Diagram approach to root cause analysis.
