      The Products - High level insight
      Railway Corporate Strategy Close Corporation develops and provides 
        insight into systemic drivers and systemic functioning; 
        global drivers and contextual awareness; and positioning and consistency, 
        in the railway corporate strategy setting. It sources insight from: 
      Original research at Stratified Systems Theory Level VI that 
        yields a world-wide accumulation, analysis, and diagnosis of economic-, 
        intellectual-, political-, social-, and technological marker events and 
        trends applicable to the global railway industry. The research is scientifically 
        grounded in statistical analysis of the databases 
        maintained on this website. Findings are proactively subjected to peer 
        review, among other at international conferences. 
      Organizational learning at Stratified Systems Theory Level V, 
        from the Managing Director's extensive experience in the real world of 
        railways that includes, among other, world-class heavy haul operations, 
        development of high-speed intercity passenger trains, and general management 
        in a diversified-services (general freight, long-distance passenger, and 
        urban) railway. 
      Railway Corporate Strategy CC applies, provides, and leverages insight 
        in two themes:  
      
        - Global driver awareness interventions in the theme of Corporate 
          Citizenship, which promote sustainable organization-environment fit. 
          
 
           
           
        - Large-scale internal systemic interventions in the theme of 
          Strategic Intent, which support sustainable organization-environment 
          positioning. 
 
       
      It delivers the insight in the following formats: 
      The Services - Applying and leveraging 
        insight
      Methodologies
      
        - Consultation on developing positions and solutions with 
          respect to specific large-scale railway-, or railway-related, logistics-, 
          mobility-, and technology issues.
 
           
         
        - Independent analysis, evaluation, due diligence, feasibility, 
          and peer review, with respect to existing- or proposed railways, or 
          railway systems and sub-systems.
 
           
         
        - Systemic design, to position railways, or railway sub-systems, 
          effectively with respect to global drivers and task environments. This 
          includes engineering, management, and statistics in the Managing Director's 
           field of experience.
 
           
           
        -  Analysis and resolution of preexisting large-scale 
          internal systemic dysfunction, manifested by symptoms in the fields 
          of safety, service, and sustainability.
 
           
         
        -  Empirical research and/or active intervention regarding 
          specific topics, in a format agreed with the customer.
 
           
         
        -  Audits of pre-existing positioning or fit issues across 
          an organization-environment interface, with respect to awareness, consistency, 
          and dysfunction, followed by identification of possible gaps.
 
           
         
        -  Workshops to assess awareness and develop appreciation 
          of global 
          railway drivers and their application to corporate planning 
          or corporate strategy, and to government policy.
 
           
         
        -  Presentations to promote awareness of global drivers 
          and their impact on railways, individually or in designated context:
 
           
          
         
        
          -  Keynote, to respect tight time schedules,
 
             
           
          -  Comprehensive, to convey in-depth insight, and
 
             
           
          -  Customized, to weave in specific audience interests 
            or requirements.
 
           
         
       
      
         Appreciate that around three-quarters of the world's countries with 
          railways  constrain 
          their railways - by impositions in respect of one or more of 
          economics, politics, society, or technology. Over time, the residue 
          of ineffective re-positioning interventions encrusts the underlying 
          root causes of their ill fit with their environment. One should therefore 
          not underestimate the time and patience needed to reveal the true nature 
          of the issues underlying such situations.
