Technology Investment & Risk Management

CPC Econometrics specializes in the application of basic quality control and quality improvement techniques and principles to technology investment. Despite the staggering amount of money poured into technology driven business investment it remains an area largely under-governed, where basic quality control tenets are often ignored. This results in appalling waste. In our experience the application of disciplined risk management and quality control techniques can produce breathtaking returns.

Our proprietary systems provide the following capabilities:

  1. The ability to quantify the costs associated with how technology investment is managed today this invariably reveals a reservoir of hidden (and largely recoverable) costs.

  2. The ability to profile the entire investment portfolio by category and return. Understanding what percentage of the portfolio is tied up in low yield investments. Knowing what percentage of the portfolio is supported by sound business cases, and what percent is aligned with business goals.

  3. The ability to optimize investments across the entire portfolio and across business lines.

  4. The ability to track investments across their entire life cycle and compare front end promises with back end delivery.

  5. The ability to conduct Post Implementation Reviews of key projects and document the patterns associated with successful and unsuccessful investments.

  6. The ability to Value Plan/Risk Assess critical projects early in their life cycle. This allows the organization to either fix or stop investments with low value or high risk scores. This results in reduced friction costs and fewer investments coming in late, over budget or failing to deliver promised value.
