Woodhouse led the development of the internationally acclaimed SALVO process for optimising asset management strategies and decisions, along with the world-leading DST™ modelling, analytics and optimisation tools. The company can help clients to evaluate options, quantify implications (including the intangibles), explore scenarios and determine the optimal strategy, using any available mix of data, expert knowledge and uncertain assumptions.

SALVO is a fully developed, highly adaptive framework for asset management decision-making. It includes the processes, governance, decision support tools and a multi-layered competency development programme. Proven in many industries around the world, SALVO brings together advanced analytics, business discipline, common sense pragmatism and the vital human factors (such as cross-disciplinary collaboration, culture, consensus-building and psychology). Woodhouse can train, facilitate, license, customise and implement SALVO and/or provide it as an analysis and optimisation service delivered by expert facilitators. It can also provide train-the-trainer services and options for consultants to develop their own facilitator skills.
