TKA Information Services

Do you need to monitor and respond quickly to critical issues and trends affecting your organization?
 
TKA's advanced business analytics capture and distill trends and events in your competitive environment into manageable—usually quantitative—data points.  In effect, we translate your business challenge into a real-time data model that can be analyzed and used as the basis for developing forecasts and plans under alternative what-if scenarios.
 
The business challenges we typically address include:
  • Creating Value - For example, how can we most effectively enter a new market?
  • Defending Value - For example, how can we control the proliferation of knock-offs of our product?
These models can be large and complex.  In one recent example, TKA delivered over 110,000 refreshed data elements during each monthly cycle.  However, managing complexity for an executive audience is also a key part of our role.  So we summarized our findings in a few pages—suitable for presentation to senior management.

Industry-Standard Analytics

  • time series analysis
  • econometric modeling
  • algorithmic searching

  • value chain analysis
  • scorecard assessments
  • data modeling
  • data visualization

Proprietary Analytics

In addition to those industry-standard techniques, TKA has developed proprietary analytic tools and methodologies, currently available only from us.    These include:
  • Parametric Content Analysis™.  Originally developed by TKA in helping our clients monitor and defend against threat of counterfeit and diverted goods, PCA has now been adapted for use in a range of business problems, both strategic and tactical.
  • Scan and Target™.  This research strategy integrates broad-scale sweeps with more focused "deep dives".
  • Knowledge Value Chain®.  The KVC provides TKA with a structured methodology for assessing and improving the value-relevance of client information and knowledge assets.
  • Strategic Risk Mapping™.  SRM allows us to identify strategic opportunities and threats at a line-of-business level, such that focused intelligence programs can then be built around each of those areas.

Continual Awareness

Each TKA quantitative model, once designed and tested, is run repeatedly as a time series. In effect it becomes a continual awareness or early warning system for the business issues of greatest concern. In effect, it's an enterprise radar for your organization.  Patterns and trends can be detected, including the mitigating effects of any client actions.

Reporting

Each TKA model is custom-designed and operated, and delivered in a format most suitable to our clients' needs. In some cases, this means electronic delivery directly to client SharePoint® or other intelligence portal.  In others, it means hard-copy Briefing Books delivered to a Board or executive level audience.
 
Regardless of delivery method, all TKA-produced information is highly reliable, customized, and completely confidential, and is never re-sold to outside parties.  When you need it to be right, contact us.
