Automation, Digital and AI are creating more and more data which can be used to drive better strategies and decision-making. This will only accelerate. Fortunately, we have the Advanced Analytics and AI Capabilities to unlock this value for our clients.

We utilise cutting-edge tools and Analytics techniques, and foster collaborative engagements with boards and C-suite executives. Our approach encompasses a spectrum of modern technologies, including analytics, Tableau, Python, data science, and employing Linear Models and Linear Mixed Models to rigorously test hypotheses. Our focus is resolutely on strategic engagement, steering clear of back-office roles and remaining committed to working directly with senior leadership.

Typical client questions we are addressing include:

  • What should my AI strategy be?
  • What is the optimal way of navigating Retailer Media Networks?
  • How do I optimise my marketing spend in this complex digital landscape?
  • What is the best way of growing margins across price ladders / SKU mix / promotional strategies?
  • How do I optimise portfolio in terms of locations, offering and formats?
  • How can I drive change by building our Analytics and AI capabilities?
  • How do I optimise my workforce to maximise profitability?
