The
LAMP Process
Our application of
the LAMP techniques (developed by
Col. Jonathan Lockwood) will
uniquely afford you a new dimension to business analysis and strategic
planning.
With LAMP,
it will be possible for you to apply mathematical principles along with our computer
rationalization techniques to capture and predict the most likely course of
action of actors
affecting your market.
Good judgment is a “must” in business. But, to use data along with good
judgment is real "intelligence." We have used LAMP to
enhance the
CIPA process. The computer algorithms that make CIPA
possible are based on sophisticated mathematics and on new ways of
integrating computer power and human intelligence.
Imagine when this new combination of applied
mathematics and cognitive science is further combined with the
super-enhanced data mining methodologies and state-of-the-art optimization
technologies that are available to us.
Using the 12 steps of the LAMP technique, we can develop a series of
"alternate futures," for your business operations; determine their relative
probability using a pairwise comparison voting method; identify the "focal
events" for the three "most likely" alternate futures; and then develop Indications
and Warnings (I&W) markers for the focal events within the most likely alternate future.
Furthermore, the LAMP
technique utilizes a hybrid
methodology of predictive analysis that builds on other analytical and
planning methodologies such as:
The LAMP technique
combines elements of those other analytical methodologies in a uniquely
qualitative way in that it is based on determining the relative probability
of a series of alternate futures, rather than attempting to determine the
quantitative probability of their occurrence. Even though the LAMP does not
assign a quantifiable probability of occurrence for each future, it has
little allowance for ambiguity. Thus, it provides solid intelligence to aid
the decision-making process of policy makers.
The LAMP works on the principle that the future is the sum total of all
interactions of "free will," on individual, corporate and international scales.
In human history, the interactions of “free will” among actors have played
out in predictable events.
While the LAMP is not an infallible method for predicting the future, it
gives intelligence analysts, by far, a more powerful, systematic and
reliable method for organizing all available data based on the perceptions
of the actors. It uses such perceptions to make relevant stratifications,
juxtapositions, interpolations and ultimately, predictions – using everyday
language – as to which alternate future is most likely to occur at a given
moment in time. Thus, you can have very reliable information to make the
best possible strategic, operational or tactical plans, with various
permutations of competitive response.
