  • Publication number: 20150186818
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing a relocation option. More specifically, a line of business may assess a relocation option by generating a geographic model that may be based on data about a relocation option. The system and method of generating a geographic model may include the generation of a reward score based on reward drivers. The model may also include generating a risk score that is based on risk factors. The reward score and the risk score may be compared. The line of business may also conduct an in-country/due diligence visit based at least in part on the geographic model and may assemble a risk mitigation framework. In addition, outputs of the model may be analyzed using portfolio theory analysis. Such portfolio theory analysis may include determining the Markowitz Efficient Frontier of optimal location sets. The analysis may also include obtaining an optimal location set based on a preferably predetermined concentration risk tolerance.

  • Publication number: 20110166906
    Abstract: A system and method of calculating a concentration risk score for a work process at an organization center are provided. The concentration risk score may be based on a redundancy score and a criticality score. In some examples, the redundancy score may be determined based on a percentage of total resources associated with the work process at a first center. The redundancy score and criticality score may then be combined to determine a concentration risk score for the work process at that center.
