- 9. Disrupting the Way we Measure Corporate Risk and Performance There are three main problems: 1. The lack of a single industry-agnostic scale to measure and predict Corporate strategy/execution (competitive advantage) leads to erroneous and inconsistent C-Level decision-making 2. Silos-analytics lead to erroneous C-level decisions based on many versions of the truth 3. Lack of C-Level risk and performance visibility accentuated by inward-looking industry metrics 10/19/2013 WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM 9

- 11. Towards a Single Index to Measure Competitive Advantage • Comparing the elephant legs or ears against peers’ legs or ears leads to incorrect conclusions (This is what traditional benchmarking does) • The strategy/execution or competitive advantage of a Business can only be assessed holistically and it is not the sum of its parts 10/19/2013 WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM 11
- 12. Towards a Single Index to Measure Competitive Advantage SIMMETHOD’s industry-agnostic algorithm holistically finds the Best-In-Class Businesses in each Business Sector and only then calculates a Best-In-Class and a low performance profile. These Best-In-Class and Low Performance profiles are used as a GPS to: • Alert you of your risk and opportunities within and outside your Business Sector, • Predict your performance against your peers and the Best-In-Class across multiple Business Sectors and • Fend-off current and future competitors coming from inside and outside your industry. 10/19/2013 WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM 12
- 13. Towards a Holistic Index of Corporate & Value-Chain Performance and Risk • Currently, there is no single industry-agnostic scale to measure and predict Business or Value-Chain strategy/execution (competitive advantage). • Conventional Benchmarking measures silo by silo (ratio by ratio) and then adds up the sum of the parts but the problem is that (a star team is not the same as a team of stars) 10/19/2013 WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM 13
- 14. A Star Team (Strategy/Execution) Is Different Than a Team of Stars • Unlike conventional analytics that measures 11 players independently, SIMMETHOD’s algorithm finds the Best-InClass teams first and only then prepares a predictive C-Level and functional profile of the Best-In-Class players 10/19/2013 WWW.SIMMETHOD.COM 14
