Lumina provides consulting services to bring clarity and decisiveness
to your organization's decisionmaking.
This year, many firms will branch into new markets,
test new products, and evolve their business in new directions.
The firms most likely to succeed will approach the business planning
and decision-making process in a reasoned, systematic way. Lumina
has contributed to the state-of-the-art in decision science, and
their consulting team can share this knowledge with your firm.
To provide you the widest variety of methodological
and domain expertise, Lumina maintains both a team of in-house
consulting professionals, as well as a network of affiliated
consultants. Through Lumina's affiliate program, you gain
access to industry leading consultants with expertise in decision
analysis and in the use of Analytica.

| How do I model complex
problems? |
|
Lumina's consulting services emphasize client
education. Our goal is to give you the tools necessary to navigate
today's uncertain business climate. We can:
- Outline and help you execute
an internal review and decision making process for
new ventures, tailored to your firm's needs and expectations.
- Determine your modeling needs through
an analysis of your venture objectives.
- Implement a modeling framework and a
suite of models that communicates your insights at
multiple levels of detail and sophistication.
- Pinpoint areas for continued planning
and refinement based on quantitative analyses of model results.
- Help you assess your confidence
in the business venture, and compare your confidence
to that of other potential stakeholders in the venture, and
to different ventures.
- Maintain and evolve the model
to provide value as you shift your venture from planning,
to funding, to operations.

| How can
I evaluate new business ventures? |
|
Lumina's
experience in consulting includes a wide array of activities, from
hands-on Analytica® training
in classrooms nationwide to early phase evaluation of e-commerce
start-ups to the planning of multibillion dollar communications
infrastructure investments. Lumina consultants are trained in decision
analysis, finance, economic modeling, and a range of vertical market
domains that best address the needs of our clients.
We are available for short-term consulting to
jump-start your internal planning and review efforts, for 1-5
day courses on getting the most from
Analytica as a business modeling tool, and for long-term, large-scale
product planning processes.
We specialize in producing integrated models
which combine engineering, marketing, and financial considerations
for a potential product, or venture, to provide maximum insight
into the venture viability, strategy, and optimal execution path.
|
| How can
I transition to a better set of tools and processes for decision
making? |
|
Lumina also offers a full suite of model
conversion and validation services. If you've reached the
limit of what's possible (or manageable!) with your current modeling
tools, Lumina can help you navigate a path to a superior set of
modeling tools in Analytica.
Converting models to the Analytica environment
can also involve a full technical audit of the model mechanics,
and creation of documentation for use with the models within,
and outside, your organization.
