Delivery:
Options Analysis is a critical activity to support key decisions being made and the associated evidence or rationale in making those decisions. We use a tailorable options analysis method, developed over numerous tasks, to capture options, qualify and evaluate their characteristics and provide an independent recommendation to the optimum solution.
Our experienced consultants work closely with our customer to select and develop the options for analysis, capturing evidence and storing, whilst engaging with critical stakeholders to support the narrative of each option. Through the process we identity appropriate performance metrics, which can be weighted and if appropriate, cost drivers and planning data can be undertaken via Performance/Cost/Time (PCT) analysis to inform the trade space.
