Our Toolkit

We believe in using the right tools for the job at hand. To answer the toughest strategy questions, a project may require use of one, or several, of the following methodologies and capabilities:

• Strategic Gaming^®, our signature approach, is a valuable, practical application of game theory that helps companies gain insight into any issue in which the actions of competitors, partners, and other stakeholders are important drivers. This straightforward, fast, and intuitive methodology involves a three-stage process that culminates in a dynamic road map: a strategic and tactical action plan to help shape and direct the business issue at hand under all feasible contingencies.
• Decision Analysis is a powerful and widely-used method for evaluating big-bet decisions or a complicated set of decisions made under uncertainty.
• Real Options is an effective approach to frame and evaluate the potential for learning so that you can create "options" that you can exercise downstream. The evaluation of real options models is similar to decision analysis, though Strategic Gaming^® models incorporate learning events when competitors, partners, or other players are also important.
• War Gaming Simulations help companies face complex, highly amorphous situations by understanding potential threats and ways to deal with emerging situations through role-playing exercises that energize teams and provide powerful, qualitative insights.
• Valuation Modeling complements our applications of Strategic Gaming^®, decision analysis, and real options, providing rigor and depth of understanding.
• Political Analysis helps reveal the options and motivations of governments and governmental actors—politicians, agencies, legislatures—to assess the risks and value of alternative strategies. SGG can provide its clients with expertise in this area that is unmatched in management consulting.
