STRATEGY CONSULTING
We don't just sell a state-of-the-art business intelligence platform. We help you use it to its full potential.
​
MINERVA™ is an incredibly powerful platform—it can serve up data in any way you want. But there's no point in jumping on the "AI bandwagon" if you don't know what you want to achieve!
​
Our services are best understood as a "virtuous loop" of discovery and action...leading to more discovery and action.
What data do you want? What are you going to do with it? Why? And what does success look like? These sound like simple questions but they're incredibly important to answer properly (and you'd be amazed how many organizations don't!)​
"THERE'S NO POINT IN JUMPING ON THE A.I. BANDWAGON IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE!"
Working with AI and Machine Learning you can find out an enormous amount about your business. There are two categories of data: what you need to know—and what you don't (yet) know you need to know!
​
Our highly experienced team will work with you to understand the current state of your business and listen deeply to get an understanding of your strategic and tactical goals. We will then agree the data points that need to be captured—and configure MINERVA to do the work.
The "sentiment maps" produced by MINERVA really can look as cool as this! (But without the two-way glass effect)
"THERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW—AND WHAT YOU DON'T (YET) KNOW YOU NEED TO KNOW!"
We'll help you every step of the way from strategy to configuration to data analysis in a "virtuous cycle" of learning and implementation.
​
But you won't need to be reliant on us: our mission is to make your business self-sufficient as you take the benefits of MINERVA far into the future.
​
There are FIVE stages to an engagement, each of which can be "dialled up" and "dialled down" depending on the context of your business.
