our approach

What do we do?

We provide organisations with performance insights specifically designed to help them have a  better understanding of their health & performance, both currently and in the future, (as our service also provides predictions)  so you can make more informed strategic performance decisions.

We do this based on our unique analytical performance algorithm Methalytics – which rates and tracks and then quantifies your association’s, as well as 300 others, the rate of improvement vs your peers vs the sector.

Let us try and give you some examples:

  • We recently completed a project to help a large London based housing association to identify the costs savings it required to achieve a 30% improvement in its operating margin by 2020, and whether any other large association had delivered such an improvement.
  • A large RP that was in the process of merging utilised our peer performance review service, and we were able to identify £2.3m of saving to assist in delivering their business case.
  • For a large RP based in Yorkshire, we were able to factually demonstrate that its overall rate of improvement was falling significantly behind its peers by some 20%.
