Why did we create Valkyrie?

Companies now operate in an environment of hyper competition and high complexity, and must continually adapt and create new ways to increase sales and reduce expenses

Without the capability to effectively plan and manage enterprise change, company objectives not only fail to materialise, but the barriers to profit creation increase, including increased bureaucracy, low autonomy and low alignment.

To manage profit creation and help companies to achieve their objectives, a structured and standardised enterprise system is needed which goes beyond setting top down targets and establishing a portfolio of improvement projects.

Valkyrie provides businesses with a unique world class experience for planning and tracking business change.

Businesses are able to coordinate and prioritise improvement and business-as-usual activity with unprecedented ease and effectiveness.
