Strategic Option Analysis

Strategic Option Analysis (SOA) is a process for decision making and business planning that we developed based on our business planning experience combined with the latest techniques for solving tough problems. SOA provides:

• A systematic process for thinking about complicated situations, identifying, exploring, and evaluating a variety of options. These options may include buying another company, selling the company, raising money, changing the business model, technology licensing, alliances, etc.
• Tools for quantifying the risks and rewards associated with any course of action and techniques for monitoring and mitigating risks.
• Specific information, milestones and checkpoints for monitoring the execution of the resulting plan.

We typically use SOA as an assessment and planning tool when we start working with a new client and again whenever the client reaches a key decision point. The results of the SOA process include most of the critical information required for planning to buy or sell a company or raise money.

SOA can also be used for:

• Business planning by startups or existing organizations.
• Analyzing business plans and investment opportunities.
• Companies that need help finding a path to profitability.
• Organizations facing hard choices due to financial issues, competitor actions, personnel changes, etc.
