Practice Areas
Business problems do not fit neatly into software categories.
Relevant Intelligence organizes expertise around the business problem first, then identifies the capabilities that may be needed to address it.
Where problems tend to live
Six practice areas, framed as questions
Each area organizes the kinds of business questions and operating challenges an organization may need to understand before deciding what expertise is required.

You do not need to know which area applies
Many business problems cross functional boundaries. Picking a category first is how organizations end up buying the wrong help.
- A revenue problem may actually involve Product or Customer.
- A margin problem may involve Finance, Supply Chain or Operations.
- A retention problem may involve Customer, Product or Growth & Revenue.
- A delivery problem may involve Supply Chain, Operations and Finance.
How expertise follows
The validated problem determines the capability
Capabilities listed on each Practice Area page are the kinds of expertise a problem in that area may call for — not a recommendation, and not a claim that every capability has coverage today. Where a need falls outside what the network covers, we say so.
