Success for a company today is grounded in knowing your organization inside and out, so you’re ready for change – not scrambling to respond to it. In an age where data is more valuable than oil, it’s crucial that you leverage what you’ve got. Ansarada’s Platform uses advanced tech to put your critical business information to work for you, so you can see exactly where you stand and know with certainty what your next move should be. Successful business leaders and advisors are already using these technologies to end costly, wasteful legacy behaviours and get unprecedented insights. Moving to automated, streamlined processes lets them spend more time on what matters – driving business development and propelling growth.

6. Historically we make the same
mistakes, we swap out an old
technology with a new one,
rather than building around
what’s newly possible.

age, and around what
electricity made possible,
radical new changes were
made.

11. Why is a business in
the best shape ever
at the end of a deal?
Transformation at Ansarada started with a question

12. Critical business information
Always-on
Assets
Risks and opportunities are contained in your
material information or lack of it

management Strategy

Information

13. Increased risks and
missed opportunities
The challenges
Lack of visibility and score-carding of information
against desired outcomes leaves risks uncovered.
Managers are not given clear accountability over
the companies most important information
Little to zero benchmarking from today to what’s next

14. Readiness costs time and money
The challenges
Companies don’t know where to start, or the best way
to structure their information for what’s next
They wait until the end of their life cycle to get in their best shape
There’s constant surprise by how much expense, time
and effort goes in to preparing for any material event

15. Majority are not
ready for their
most important
material events
Executives don’t
know where to start
or aren’t equipped
to drive readiness
The process of
event preparation
creates cost and
distraction
Companies fail to
realise value, or
just fail due to
unidentified gaps
Clear challenges facing most businesses today

16. The speed of business is placing
a greater premium on business
readiness

it is today?
