Increasing business uncertainty and organisational complexity are driving the need for more transparent strategic planning and stakeholder communication. CFOs and strategic planners are turning increasingly to strategy simulation as the only alternative for complex value planning, integrating management thinking and effective communication

Valculus provides a full range of simulation products and services to its client base who are typically large blue chip corporations. Our offer is specifically tailored towards solving strategic issues facing companies operating in long life cycle industries.

The central platform of the product and service offer is the ValueSim module bank.

Relationship management

Our introduction to a client is often by way of training and awareness. Valculus uses a suite of executive programmes to meet this need.

Where specific strategic issues are the prime focus, we build bespoke ValueSims using a standard consulting process. Once issues have been formally agreed, Valculus can utilise its ValueSim module bank and engage the client team in the simulation process. The process follows four broad stages:

On completion of a bespoke simulation assignment, ongoing client involvement takes two general routes:

• Implementation of ongoing reporting and control
• Transfer and/or rollout to other parts of the organisation

Future development

The use of bespoke ValueSims can often be extended - and can go as far as a client organisation requires. Indeed initial simulations often ask as many questions as they answer. Bespoke ValueSims are now becoming engrained in the whole underlying process of strategic and financial management.
