It’s really quite extraordinary how different an organization becomes when decisions are based on facts rather than force of personality, rank, and opinion. Larry Ellison But what's really required ... is to challenge the structure of the decision-making process. What are the incentives that the managers have? What is the time horizon? ... What kind of information is taken into account? Vice President Al Gore Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide. Napoleon I Data is largely about the past. Your gut has to come in to deal with things that are in the future about which we cannot have data, but it is up to your ability to merge past and future data and intuition in as analytical a way as you can. Andrew S. Grove No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be. Isaac Asimov The onus is always on the user to make sure that all the information, which his common sense tells him is relevant to the problem, is actually incorporated into the equations, and that the full extent of his ignorance is also properly represented. Edwin Jaynes Most major business decisions are taken as a result of animal spirits- of a spontaneous urge to action rather than inaction, and not as an outcome of a weighted average of quantitative benefits multiplied by quantitative probabilities. John Maynard Keynes The way to achieve success is first to have a definite, clear, practical ideal - a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends - wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end. Aristotle

Maximize True Shareholder Value.

Ask yourself these questions about your corporate decision-making process:

·         Is it fast and transparent?

·         Can I include any type of relevant information?

·         Do I value choices as the Market would, given the same information?

Most likely the answer to some or all of these questions is “No.”  Corporate decision-makers face a significant problem when it comes to connecting information to True Shareholder Value.  Provisdom holds the solution.

Real value in the real world.

Provisdom connects any type of information to True Shareholder Value in a quantitative and provable way.  Put in information and choices for an investment problem, we give the same answer as Wall Street.  Put in your information and choices, we give the same answer as the Market would, if they had your “inside information”.  Most importantly, Provisdom does it with speed and transparency.  Take a look at some of our real-world results:

·         Improved datacenter upgrade strategy increasing True Shareholder Value by $460 million in 3 days, while preventing an average of 66,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

·         In only 1 week, optimized supply chain strategy to account for known price fluctuations and supply shocks, increasing seven-week NPV from -$1.77 million to -$1.15 million.

·         With just 2 days of analysis of an Internet technology acquisition, narrowed maximum acquisition price from between $200 million and $2 billion to a single price of $750 million.

·         The above were achieved with only a few hours investment of the customer’s time, yet delivered not only significant value but deeper understanding for the decision-maker.

We did the hard work so you don’t have to.

Results such as the above may sound implausible.  But they have been made possible by Provisdom’s 8-year effort to understand and quantify corporate strategy at its most fundamental level, resulting in a simple, fast, and transparent decision software platform.  The Provisdom Decision Platform helps public corporations maximize True Shareholder Value from their decisions and all types of relevant information.  The heavy lifting has already been done, allowing decision-makers to specify their choices and information in a familiar business context.  Provisdom currently offers customized solutions leveraging the platform, providing results in days that previously required months of highly technical analysis.
