Why customize your program?

Your Executive Vantage Point™ (EVP) program is helping you make informed decisions for the main portion of your business (total sales, total units shipped, your largest division, etc.). But this approach can leave out other important segments of your business.

To ensure your business has the right industry foresight, the means to establish an effective pricing strategy, and more, ITR Economics has add-on options for your overall program. We provide additional foresight and insight via these add-ons, giving your executive team every tool they need to plan with confidence.

Company Forecasting

Perhaps you are looking to build a strategy around a certain division, but you do not have an accurate forecast for that division. 

As with your EVP program, an ITR Economics Company Forecast provides a 12-quarter outlook for one of your internal datasets, such as Total US Sales. You can add to your EVP program by purchasing an additional Company Forecast, creating an even more robust platform from which to plan.

Custom Price Index

"As we move through this tumultuous decade, it will become increasingly important for each business to find a producer or material price index that fits their business. Using this will be the difference between profitability and losing money.” – from ITR Economics’ 2014 book, Prosperity in the Age of Decline

As we move through the 2020s and closer to the 2030s, ITR Economics has answered this need by developing our Custom Price Index service, built by our experts and specifically applicable to your business during what will be an inflationary period beyond what this generation of young leaders have so far experienced.
