Balance of Investment (BOI)

Many investment decisions are complex, with:

  • Limited funds for investment
  • Multiple objectives
  • Many possible solutions

In some cases, this complexity can obscure the key issues and criteria, making it difficult to arrive at a decision. In others, a decision-maker's intuition and experience can direct him to a clear choice, but it may be difficult to gather the hard evidence to justify it.

Polaris has successfully supported a variety of BOI studies, using a range of techniques suited to the nature of the challenge. These include:

  • Facilitation at workshops and Military Judgement Panels
  • Data analysis and visualisation
  • Effects-based planning and modelling techniques
