OUR TOOLBOX
Good tools are half the job. In consulting it means methodologies, frameworks, and analysis and modelling software.
Crisp Ideas has one of the strongest toolboxes in industry within its business scope. Examples: decision trees (from DPL), system dynamics (from MIT), scenario planning (Oxford's OSPA), nonmarket strategy ((IA)3 from Yale), uncertainty and optionality modelling (TUNA from Oxford), and proprietary market-sizing (demand-side and supply-side; in established as well as in nascent markets and industries; primary or secondary sources, not AI slop from N-ary sources). Plus analytical frameworks from top-tier consultancies.
We are not saying that analysis is substitute for experience; rather we are saying to potential clients that they should expect both from their providers of advisory services. Regarding experience, take a look at our CVs.
THE TEAM
We are a team of technology enthusiasts with backgrounds from top-tier technology companies and premier consulting firms. Plus solid academic credentials from leading European and American universities.
Which means that we understand technology space as well as the importance of analytical rigour.

Wondering about the connection between the banner video on this home page and our business? Answer: grit. Required in business as well as when hiking in deep, wet snow; not knowing exact position; and having to choose between many possible paths without having a clear view of the top. Very different from the summit climbing pictures that some of our competitors prefer to put on their web pages.
