Abstract:
A computer implemented method for optimizing strategic options designed to solve a selected mission, comprising the following steps:(a) processing data relating to subject specific desired outcomes for at least one predetermined customer set, said desired outcomes having predetermined prioritized ratings, each of said desired outcomes defining a benefit of value, said desired outcomes free from any solution or specification, each of said desired outcomes, remaining stable over time;(b) processing data relating to predictive metrics which predict satisfaction of said desired outcomes;(c) evaluating the degree to which each of said predictive metrics predict satisfaction of each of said desired outcomes for each of said customer sets;(d) defining strategic options, each of said defined strategic options designed to satisfy at least one of said customer desired outcomes;(e) comparing each of said user defined strategic options with a user defined baseline strategic option to determine which of said user defined strategic options best predict satisfaction of each of said customer desired outcomes; and(f) presenting the compared user defined strategic options to allow the user to determine which of said user defined strategic options best predict satisfaction of each of said customer desired outcomes.
