Connected Decisions

Whole Systems Approach

More effective decision-making that optimises synergies across planning horizons and organisational boundaries

In today’s increasingly hyper-connected world no decision can be taken in isolation. Every decision taken has knock-on implications across your organisation, industry and beyond. Your decision-making capability must become more connected vertically (strategic, tactical and operational) and horizontally (across organisational silos) to ensure decision-making is effective, trade-offs minimised, synergies maximised, and negative unintended consequences avoided.

BMA’s Decisio™ Decision Processor enables planning functions to become more connected through its AI-assisted Digital Business Twins that understand your end-to-end supply chain with integrated financials, and asset & operational data across multiple nested timeframes. Decisio™ is at the heart of Whole Systems Adaptive planning. Auto-generated options feed into traditional models, which then optimises for the whole of the value chain.

Adaptive Pathway Planning

Greater ability to foresee and plan for an uncertain future, keeping options open and minimising risk

Our world is becoming increasingly uncertain and volatile due to the impacts of climate change, geopolitical changes or emerging disruptive technology. In an uncertain world, short, medium and long-term planning is put under the spotlight.

Slow planning processes producing fixed and inflexible plans are no longer good enough. To provide robust and optimal plans in this challenging environment, planning functions must become more adaptive, contextual, holistic and look further ahead. The BMA Decisio™ platform with its embedded Decision Processor provides this capability to take your planning to the next level. BMA is innovating the next generation of infrastructural planning - creating the ability to better manage uncertainty by evaluating a wider range of possible futures.

Multi-stakeholder Collaborative Planning

Unleashing the power of AI to empower all your decision-makers within the organisation

AI and advanced analytics have historically been the domain of a limited number of specialist users and technical experts. All too often significant investment in analytics, AI and data was wasted because it wasn’t user friendly to the vast majority of decision-makers across the organisation.

BMA’s Decisio™ platform changes this by making advanced analytics and AI readily accessible and usable by the typical business user. Decisio™ allows companies to leverage the full potential of AI and recoup their investment in cloud, analytics and data infrastructure. The Decision Processor unlocks rapid deployment of bespoke analytics applications through a common user-interface into the hands of decision-makers everywhere.
