Audits and Systems

WAVE™ is a validated measure of business and organisational performance with a unique coverage of how well innovation and strategic assets are managed. It looks like a self-assessment tool but goes much further. Click here to download charts and statistics from a sample WAVE™ report in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format.

WAVE™ decision support systems support one off audits as well as monitoring and benchmarking across:

• Business units or sites within a company
• Companies within a particular industry
• Alliance partners
• Regional and sector clusters
• Supply chains

WAVE™ has been customised for central government agencies, government agencies and local government.

WAVE™ reduces the margin of error in your corporate development activities. It has foundations in quality and systems thinking, consistent with the world wide models for business excellence, and goes further to provide an integrated model explaining how strategic assets (tangible and intangible), managerial strengths and innovation strengthen performance and value.
