Business Challenge
SCQuARE provides an industry leading strategic thinking framework to some of the largest organisations around the globe, helping them organise their critical thinking, reasoning and presentation of strategic decision making for new products and services.
One of the biggest challenges when making such impactful decisions is not only to organise thinking in a structured manner, but also to support the user with the appropriate wording and turn of phrase to eloquently and effectively present their ideas to stakeholders with the intention of getting buy-in.
Our Solution
SCQuARE decided to leverage the power and potential of generative AI to assist their customers with this critical strategic challenge. Working with Synetec, their trusted technology partners for many years, they delivered a ground-breaking solution to help customers make strategic decisions more efficiently. This is delivered via the strategic Pivotal Question which is the decision point of the plan – the opportunity was seen to give the user even more assistance in finding the right question and harnessing the full power of the analysis making it easier for the users to frame their thinking in a compelling way.
