2 Making better decisions faster | Using driver analytics to change the game and boost performance in consumer products
Slow decision-making is compromising yourcompanys agility
Consumer products companies that stay flexible and make quickdecisions are more likely to succeed in todays brand new order a highly complex and fast-changing environment.
Are you confident you can make the right decisions against abackdrop of continuous change?
Although the vast majority of consumer products executives 0) Y_j]] l`Yl ^Ykl]j \][akagf%eYcaf_ [Yf aehjgn] gj_YfarYlagfYdagility, they struggle with planning, decision support and decision-making because information is too detailed and too slow. Oftenthey focus on items listed in the financial statements rather thanthe forces that drive value in their business.
This means they are unable to link strategy, resource allocation,planning and reporting. They must rely on a combination ofinstinct and experience, supported by one-off analysis. Thispersonal, somewhat ad hoc approach rarely optimizes decisions,and the rest of the organization may struggle to understand andsupport decisions because the rationale is unclear.
Whats the issue?
If you cant make decisions quickly, you cantcompete effectively

In particular, ineffective analysis and information exchange betweenlocal units and central headquarters fail to generate insight atthe corporate level and enable autonomy at the local level. Instead,they keep everyone tied up in unproductive detail and encourageproliferation rather than streamlining of decision-making layers.As a result, companies miss the ripple effects of issues that impactthe whole organization, fail to spot operational improvements andare unable to test the what if scenarios that improve tactical andstrategic decision-making.

4 Making better decisions faster | Using driver analytics to change the game and boost performance in consumer products
Turning data overload into strategic insight requiresvision and stamina
The biggest challenge in making better decisions faster is toa\]fla^q l`] eYjc]l$ [geh]lalgj$ gh]jYlagfYd Yf\ fYf[aYd ^gj[]kthat really drive value creation, and then correlate them to eachother and to outcome metrics like market share, revenue or margin.We call this driver analytics.
Many businesses understand the forces that drive value. But thelevel of effort required to continually and consistently correlatel`] aehY[l g^ l`] egkl ka_fa[Yfl \jan]jk Y[jgkk Y nYja]lq g^dimensions (including product, channel, geography, market, segmentor business unit) and to understand their impact on outputmetrics is a level of insight that few companies have achieved.
Although some leaders will say that value drivers are built intoplanning models or that market analytics are built into thefYf[aYd \YlY$ l`] j]Ydalq ak l`Yl ^]o `Yn] l`] [YhY[alq gj l]fY[alqto perform such analysis continuously.
Why does it matter?
Failure to identify the critical drivers and to correlate their impacton performance means companies struggle to understand whya performance metric has moved. So while they may know, forexample, that sales have fallen in Brazil and risen in Uruguay, theywont know why and dont respond. Or they might conclude thatexceeding a revenue target means a job well done, but in fact itcould be hiding poor performance.
Why is it so challenging?
Drivers add insight when performance metrics are misleading
Revenue targets exceeded
RevenuePlan = 1,000
Actual = 1,200
UnitsPlan = 100
Actual = 200
Net pricePlan = 10Actual = 6
Market sizePlan = 1,000
Actual = 3,000
DiscountsPlan = 2
Actual = 6
Standard pricePlan = 12
Actual = 12
Market sharePlan = 10%
Actual = 6.7%
Driver-based analysis reveals
root causes:
Units are twice the planned amount,yet the market size is three timesthe planned amount
Market share is lagging plan despiteaggressive discounting that hasdriven down net price
Strategic focus: invest more in thisgrowing market?
Tactical focus: share growth andpricing are poor
