Many analyses start in Excel – quick, flexible and easy to use. But what begins as a helpful tool can quickly grow into a complex calculation model. Links to multiple data sources, built-in logic, manual steps: before you know it, your organisation relies on a spreadsheet that was never designed for strategic use.
A Model Review is the perfect moment to take things further
At CQM, we see a valuable opportunity arise when a Model Review is combined with smart automation. During the review, we critically assess the model’s functioning and its underlying logic. Does it still meet the original objectives? Are the assumptions still valid, considering today’s reality?
At the same time, we identify opportunities to automate key steps, strengthen processes and make outcomes more accessible across your organisation. This is the ideal moment to uncover inefficiencies and professionalize the way your model is used. By combining automation with an in-depth review, you lay the foundation for a future-proof solution.
CQM helps you take that next step
Thanks to our experience in Optimisation, Forecasting, Simulation and Statistical Analysis, we don’t just highlight technical improvements – we also support you in realizing sustainable change. For example:
- Replacing error-prone spreadsheets with a Power BI dashboard or custom-built application;
- Integrating data streams, ensuring your input data is always up to date;
- Automatically generating outputs, including visualisations aligned with management reporting.
The benefits?
- Fewer errors and less time wasted;
- Better knowledge retention within the team;
- Faster and clearer insights for better decision-making.
In other words: you make smarter use of both your data and your resources. And more importantly, you strengthen confidence in your results.
Curious what this could look like for your model?
Let us have a look. A no-obligation chat or a light review can already bring great clarity. Feel free to contact Minou, or get started directly with the questionnaire featured in our previous blog.
