Profitability analytics is a framework for reviewing the costs, revenues, and performance of an organization and, in particular, its strengths, weaknesses, risks, and opportunities for improvement. 

Profitability Analytics has its roots in the Du Pont Profit Tree of financial indicators developed 100 years ago, but it also combines analysis of an organization's performance in marketing, operations, and investment.

Markets and business practices are fast changing, and organizations need to regularly assess how well they are doing, where their strengths and weaknesses are, and how they could improve. Profitability Analytics is a useful framework for this. It explores the performance of an organization from strategy through to delivery and management. 

Profitability Analysis provides a robust framework combining data analysis with the exploration of the issues identified by the people in the organization to identify the root causes and help the organization develop strategies to remediate those problems.

  • The Origins of Profitability Analytics in the Du Pont Profit Tree
  • The Evolution of Modern Profitability Analytics

Super powerful course. The course focuses on company level profitability versus customer level profitability. It lends itself to more of a strategic framework to assess profitability versus marketing. The crash course in DuPont Analysis is better than business school!
