Predictive Analytics & Key Metric Development

Fewer, Stronger KPIs and Indexes that Tell the True Story


  • Advus mathematicians have both technical and economics/business expertise. They move clients beyond enterprise and functional area simple metrics to fewer, stronger, operational and competitive key performance indicators (KPIs) and custom management indices that can be used in company communications to employees. These same analytics are used in dashboards and reporting systems.
  • In many cases Advus professionals can derive forecasted information from samples of actual data to establish trends. Finally, through predictive analytics, auto-alerts can be added to interactive dashboards “pushing” special events to the attention of decision makers for action.
  • We use a Practice Area methodology to filter and derive KPIs that include introduction of industry metrics to key project sponsors and stakeholders, building consensus that captures the enterprise’s functional business and competitive industry vertical “secret sauce” goals. These effort are also used heavily with Information Visualization solutions where professionals learn to rely on these indicators to react to business conditions within hours, not days, and can correct business outcomes.
  • The Advus team can develop coding structures for qualitative and unstructured data from internal and external information feeds that aid the auto-alert visualization in business dashboards to speed decision-making.
Measuring business impact in a way that is immediately actionable by staff and executives.
