BBS: Providing simple, scientifically robust solutions to common chronic management problems.

Our mission is to develop simple but scientifically robust solutions to chronic management problems drawing on years of practical and academic experiences - put simply: Applied Intelligence.

These solutions are based on methodologies and tools developed by BBS Ltd in collaboration with various sized businesses worldwide - most notably Unilever - and are made available to the business communities through software, training/education and consultancy. Here is a sample of our tools and the problems they tackle: 

- How can we detect the source of problems with our forecasts in 'real time'?
- What is the 'margin of error' attached to our forecasts?
- How can we distinguish significant problems from background 'noise'?
- How quickly can we detect change in forecasting performance or in business drivers?
- How much risk is attached to our plans and forecasts?
- What is the extent of our upside/downside potentials?
- What is driving the risk profile?
- What is the impact of future events on our risk profile?
- What can we do to mitigate risks and exploit opportunities?
- How is risk aggregated?
- How can we rate our performance?
- How achievable are our targets?
- How significant is the difference between our results and targets?
- Are our targets fair but stretching enough?
- How significant is the difference between our results and the industry standards?
