In addition to the comparison of monetary elements (costs and benefits, prices, etc.), VAN DIJK MC have also developed a thorough experience in defining and comparing strategies, policies, and implementation options in a more comprehensive way.

Based on a detailed analysis of common and best practices for dealing with comparable situations (e.g. in other companies, related sectors or other countries) information is collected on what strategy or policy option could be applied in a given situation.

The approaches applied by VAN DIJK include detailed desk research, in-depth interviews with individual experts, brainstorming sessions with a selection of stakeholders, scenario analyses, etc. The combination of these methodologies ensures that all relevant advantages and disadvantages are looked at in relation to the specific circumstances of a market actor and that the focus is laid on those elements that really make a difference.

Through our qualitative benchmarking exercises, VAN DIJK MC provide its public and private clients with all elements needed to take well-informed decisions.
