CRED Analytics

(Creative Relational Experience Dynamics)

  • Decision support when holistic understanding, dynamics, and long-term consequences are critical.
  • Independent system analyses of complex structures, strategies, and societal fields.

System analysis for demanding decision-making contexts

CRED Analytics provides systematic analyses of complex systems where traditional models and linear assessment often fall short. We work with structures, strategies, and composite fields in which multiple considerations, actors, and time dimensions operate simultaneously.

The analyses focus on the system as a whole—not on individuals—and are designed for use in demanding decision-making situations in both the public and private sectors.

CRED – a new analytical method

CRED Analytics is based on the CRED method, a new and independently developed analytical methodology for understanding complex systems. The method is designed for situations where:

  • cause and effect are not unambiguous
  • multiple factors interact simultaneously and reciprocally
  • formal objectives do not align with actual dynamics
  • decisions produce unintended and long-term consequences

The CRED method is patent-pending and represents a distinct methodological framework. It combines structural systems analysis, dynamic assessment, and field-based holistic understanding to reveal how a system actually functions— not merely how it is intended to function.

The method is designed to:

  • identify underlying structures and governing logic
  • uncover hidden tensions, vulnerabilities, and lock-ins
  • analyse dynamics over time, not just snapshots
  • provide a more realistic basis for decision-making in complex cases

What can be analysed

CRED Analytics is applied across a wide range of systems and problem areas. Typical applications include:

Strategies and roadmaps

Analysis of long-term strategies, assessing internal coherence, realism, feasibility, and likely consequences over time.

Plans and development projects

Assessment of plans (for example, municipal master plans, area zoning, and transformation projects) with a focus on structural weaknesses, conflicts of interest, and systemic risks.

Organisations and institutions

Analysis of organisations as systems: governance structures, decision-making logic, internal tensions, information flows, and the capacity to realise stated objectives.

Societal and governance systems

Analysis of complex societal fields where politics, economics, administration, and populations interact—often with conflicting goals and time horizons.

Cross-sectoral challenges

Assessment of issues that cut across sectoral boundaries, such as climate, preparedness, infrastructure, energy, or urban development, where fragmented analyses can be misleading.

Risk, vulnerability, and robustness

Analysis of systems’ capacity to withstand stress, change, and crises—and identification of structural weaknesses before they materialise.

Decision support in complex cases

Support in situations where decisions must be made on incomplete information, with high uncertainty and significant consequences.

Scenario and impact analysis

Structured exploration of plausible development paths and “second-order effects” to reduce blind spots and strengthen preparedness in planning.

Evaluation of governance models and policy instruments

Assessment of whether governance approaches, incentives, and organisational arrangements actually generate the intended dynamics—or instead create counterproductive lock-ins and friction.

Working approach and scope

The analyses are:

  • independent and non-normative
  • documentable and verifiable
  • suitable as decision support
  • tailored for use in public administration, institutions, and strategic environments

CRED Analytics does not provide advisory services directed at individuals and does not work with personal data. The focus is always on the system level.

WE OFFER:

  • CRED System Analysis:
    For pure system and strategic analyses where the focus lies on structure, direction and field. Pricing is agreed individually for each assignment.
  • FREE for journalists and similar roles:
    CRED analyses reveal what works and what does not. They expose the “real politics” at play in all kinds of contexts, looking beyond well-intended narratives, promises, and symbolic measures that we often try to govern by. Reality does not submit to control in the way we tend to believe. CRED shows what is actually going on — how and why. By using CRED, you are guaranteed to have a strong story in your hands — free of charge for those who seek to promote humane and harmonious societal development.
