A top-five management consulting firm engaged MaxMedia to tackle a unique business-intelligence challenge: How to turn a defense contractor’s 1,500-step process for building and maintaining the bleeding-edge combat aircraft into a relatable and easy-to-understand executive-level interface. And all that on an 84-inch, high-resolution multi-touch screen. The result shows how processes, projects, and systems can interact in new
and profitable ways.With 1,500 discrete processes, the challenge became how to create a collaborative business-intelligence interface that spoke to C-level executives as well as tactically-minded business analysts.
The solution allowed users to drill down though various levels of complexity while visualizing only those metrics that are meaningful to them. It even allowed users to create scenarios where they could model alternative data-sets against the current state to demonstrate tactical value.
Complex, interactive, high-resolution data visualizations revealed the high-stakes impacts changes to one process can have on many others—both from process and from project portfolio perspectives.
This ability to see dependencies, gauge impacts, and measure shared resources gives both consultants and defense contractors tremendous transparency into their operations and the power to make smarter decisions about the road forward.
This solution also allowed decision-makers of all levels to model changes to both processes and projects and then to compare sophisticated analyses of those hypotheticals using all the latest data.
