amidon
research analyzes economic, political and human‑capital data to provide consulting
services to business enterprises and nonprofit organizations. We report and analyze trends in marketplace practice,
government policy, legislative action and regulatory compliance. We develop multiple‑year business plans
and pro forma financial statements, for both start‑up and established companies, and examine alternative financing
arrangements and profit scenarios. We conduct market analysis, develop marketing plans, configure marketing networks
and design sales compensation programs that support strategic objectives. We analyze production and service capabilities,
procedures, outcomes and costs to improve operations, control costs, enhance quality and promote innovation. We examine
sourcing and supply arrangements to develop cost and performance standards covering providers of raw materials, product components,
transport, utilities, travel services, office equipment and supplies, banking, insurance and professional services. We audit human‑resources
programs and practices, analyze organization structure and job content, devise staffing plans, develop salary and incentive
pay systems and design executive compensation programs. For further information on executive compensation
and total‑rewards systems, please see our companion Website www.payline.us.
In consulting assignments,
we employ a variety of statistical analytical techniques; and we seek to make optimal use of a client organization’s
existing software and databases, in order to integrate information across the enterprise. We can conduct
workshops for client personnel; and we can organize multiple‑client work groups within and across different industries
and locales.
