MAKE YOUR NEXT MOVE WITH CONFIDENCE

IT’S TIME

TO STOP DRIVING WITH ONLY THE REARVIEW MIRROR

Stunt drivers may try it in movies, but in real life—and today’s business—to move forward, you need a proper perspective. You must focus on choices rather than the challenges.

Instead of overanalyzing problems, like a decline in profitability or reduced market share, Middlegame allows you to virtually explore and test practical solutions. By framing the problem as a series of options, you can focus on what you have to do next, instead of stalling on the problem itself.

UNDERSTAND THE CHOICES AND CONSEQUENCES

BEFORE EXPOSING YOUR STAKEHOLDERS

This scenario-planning approach to predictive analytics emphasizes the possibilities available—the consequences of those choices. Our Competitive Interaction Analytics (CIA)® platform, asks "What if?" with multiple hypotheses scenarios.

You assess potential actions. Review the reactions of competitors or stakeholders. Virtually test various scenarios for the highest probability outcome. And immediately determine which choices are "definitely no" or "maybe yes" before sharing. Discover the decision where it all clicks.

Middlegame analytics from the shopper perspective and the Wide-Angle View™ let you strategically pivot. Middlegame enables you to solve the problems of integrated Revenue Growth Management by influencing multiple stakeholders who have different objectives.

Look at it from the vantage point of any stakeholder—evaluating suggested actions, zooming in on key performance metrics, and designing and testing scenarios most crucial to Revenue Growth Management.
