METHODS AND TOOLS
We help to shape the future
M-Five is supporting our clients in their strategic decision-making in particular answering their questions on the ex-ante analysis of impacts of their alternative choices. To do so we apply a broad spectrum of qualitative and quantitative methodologies to analyse and explain the impacts and consequences of policies and strategic business decisions. We develop scenarios of the future society and its mobility system and discuss with you suitable and best fitting roadmaps for technological and service-based innovations.
A particular strength of M-Five is the combination of sector know-how of the mobility industry with our skills in quantitative analyses and modeling. M-Five is developing and running several models, most of them applying system dynamics, which is best suited to depict the growing interdependencies between transport, economy and society.
