10 Oxford can support a wide range of business analysis Our team of economists and specialists deploy a rich array of quantitative and qualitative research techniques. Thanks to our multi-disciplinary culture and wide access to experts, executives and policy-makers we can dig deep into business, economic, industry, financial, labour, regulatory, and social issues confronting international organisations. Scenario planning Assess the impact of potential economic, political or financial shocks on your revenue, costs and market exposure Stress testing Conduct stress testing and reverse stress testing. Financial firms can use the model to run CCAR scenarios to stress test balance sheets Market sizing Help identify key markets around the world and size the opportunity for your products and services OXFORD ECONOMICS Impact analysis Gauge how a change to a government policy or emerging macro development will affect your business Forecasting Enable you to correlate economic drivers to your business so that you can forecast sales performance Thought leadership Drawing on an array of research methods, we create must-have decision-support

11 Economic impact analysis We conduct economic impact studies that assess the economic contribution of a sector, company or investment. We quantify the impact via four channels: Direct impacts: jobs, output and fiscal contributions. Indirect impacts: employment and output via purchases from a company s supply chain. Induced impacts: jobs and output from spending of direct and indirect employees. Catalytic impacts: the benefits to performance in other sectors.

12 Global forecasting and market sizing Our forecasting models enable us to tailor analysis to specific customer needs. We can forecast product demand, industrial trends, economic conditions and business performance on a global, national or city basis.

13 Scenarios and stress testing In these volatile times, unexpected shocks can destroy profits, disrupt supply chains and upend business models. That is why executives are building scenario analysis into their strategic thinking. Our global models provide the ideal framework to explore alternative scenarios such as a China banking crisis, Eurozone deflation, and increased capital flow from emerging markets. Stress scenarios for a multinational insurance firm Oxford runs CCAR stress tests following the Fed s November release of stress scenarios. Each quarter, scenarios are run through the Global Economic Model. Oxford produces a detailed scenario report and data to the client s specification showing the impacts on world economies.

14 Thought Leadership Quantitative analysis Forecasting, modeling, benchmarking and scenario analysis. Management research Executive surveys, interviews, expert panels and advisory boards. Insightful publications Engaging executives through white papers, newsletters and articles. Meetings and presentations Stimulating ideas through peer group interchange and presentations. Web publishing and social media Research hubs, infographics, interactive forums, analytical tools and microsites.

15 Monitoring key developments Oxford worked together with a US conglomerate to develop a monthly economic indicators dashboard. This report gives thorough economic and industry analysis on all regions and key countries for their core business groups. The company uses this information for near-term internal planning as well as to support quarterly sales calls and meetings with current and potential investors.

16 Leading sales indicators for an alcoholic beverages company Developing leading indicators Oxford identified the top five indicators that most closely predict future sales conditions for a European beverages company. A custom model applies weights to each factor, producing a 6-month view so that the company can adjust their strategy.

17 Hypertherm s sales forecasting model Correlating sales to economic trends For Hypertherm, a US precision tools manufacturer, Oxford produces sales forecasts for 9 product lines across 5 regions. These forecasts and circulated to their business units to inform sales and production planning. An excel-based model using Oxford s macro and industry forecasts generates product sales projections for Hypertherm s products. The model was created by correlating Hypertherm s sales with key economic drivers. The tool allows input of alternative assumptions and comparison with the central forecast. A detailed forecast report outlines the macro and sectoral background and traces out the implications for the forecast of Hypertherm s products and the risks they face.

18 Economic impact analysis for Rolls Royce Measuring total business impact We worked with Rolls Royce to provide evidence showing the value of their business to the UK government. To measure the full value that Rolls Royce generates, we analyzed four types of impacts: Direct -- employment, tax revenue and other direct economic activity. Indirect -- employment and economic activity supported via the supply chain. Induced -- economic activity by the expenditure of those employed. Catalytic -- improved productivity and performance in other parts the economy.

19 Sales and production for light vehicles In conjunction with our partner, LMC Automotive, we provide forecasts for global sales of light vehicles (up to 6 tons). Along with our baseline forecast, we also predict production and sales levels under four timely and pertinent alternative economic scenarios, such as a China shadow banking crisis, or a slow down in emerging markets. The tool provides seven-year light vehicle production forecasts by manufacturer, make, model, platform and assembly.

20 Indexing labor supply and demand for Hays Global skills index We developed an index for Hays, a recruitment firm, to show the efficiency of skilled labor around the world. The index identifies imbalances between the supply and demand of skilled labor. For each market, we ranked seven key categories and combined them into a country scorecard: Education flexibility Labor market participation Labor market flexibility Talent mismatch Overall wage pressure Wage pressure in high-skill industries Wage pressure in high-skill occupations +

21 An index of key metrics for the Worldwide Web Foundation Web impact index Oxford Economics helped to develop a pioneering Web Index for Tim Berners-Lee s Worldwide Web Foundation. This is an interactive tool for measuring the Web s growth, utility, and impact on people and nations. Oxford Economics relied on its global network of economists and analysts to provide input into the 80 country models behind the ranking tool.

22 Strategic workforce planning for a consumer goods firm Talent gap analysis In these times of business transformation and demographic change, companies need to assess the impact of their long-term strategies on talent needs. To help a well-known consumer goods firm analyze trends in Europe, Oxford Economics compared internal talent segmentation and forecasted trends against expected shifts in the supply and demographics of talent in 8 key countries.
