Demonstration · Ten things to do · fictional company

One governed decision across a multinational

A fictional industrial-components group in fourteen countries has a supplier price rise and delay, a customer renewal and a covenant test arriving in the same weeks. Look at the whole company, find the risks, question the figures, change what you assume and decide, in any order.

Example: Halvorsen Meridian Group (fictional). Fictional company, invented figures, scripted answers.

Simulation. A fictional company, scripted wording and figures computed from your assumptions. No model is called and nothing real is shown.

EBITDA 208 million: 15 million below the covenant minimum

Computed from the assumptions you set. Millions of euros.

1. Overview

Halvorsen Meridian Group is a fictional industrial-components company in fourteen countries. Three things have arrived in the same weeks: a supplier’s price rise and delay, a customer renewal, and the quarterly covenant test. The map shows how exposed each department is on the assumptions you have set; the rings are also written in words, so nothing depends on colour.

  • Steady: 3 points or fewer.
  • Watch: 4 or 5 points.
  • Exposed: 6 points or more. Each risk a department is part of scores 3 if high, 2 if medium, 1 if low. A question mark counts the unknowns behind it.

Choose a department on the map, or start with the risks.

Limits of this example

  • The company, its people, suppliers, customers, contracts and every figure are invented. They are not real and not a forecast.
  • Figures are computed from the assumptions you set, by fixed formulas shown on screen. They are illustrations of how a decision would be worked, not predictions of any real result.
  • Where the group cannot know something, such as a warranty claim rate or a customer's intentions, the workspace refuses to answer and says what is known and what would settle it.
  • An approval here is a click in a demonstration. It approves nothing real, and the board paper is an illustration, not advice.
  • This is a scripted demonstration on a fictional company. No model was called, and no real organisation, person, figure or result is shown.
