SME Strategic Resilience Model™

Hardware & Software Requirements

To ensure the SME Strategic Resilience System™ functions properly, users should run the diagnostic models on a laptop, notebook, or desktop computer using the desktop version of Microsoft Excel.

These models were developed for full spreadsheet functionality, including structured dashboards, linked formulas, conditional logic, and reporting outputs that may not perform reliably on mobile or tablet spreadsheet applications.

Recommended Devices

The system is designed to operate best on:

•    Laptop / Notebook Computer
•    Desktop Computer

Recommended Operating Environment

For proper performance, use:

•   Windows 10 or Windows 11
•   macOS 11 or later
•   Microsoft Excel (Desktop Version)

Minimum Recommended Hardware

Processor

•    Intel i5 or equivalent
•    AMD Ryzen 5 or equivalent
•    Apple Silicon M1 / M2 or later

Memory

•   8 GB RAM minimum
• 16 GB RAM recommended for smoother multitasking and larger workbook performance

Display

•   Standard laptop or desktop display
•   Larger screens are recommended for dashboard viewing and report formatting

Software Requirement

The system should be used with:

Microsoft Excel – Desktop Version

This is important because the models rely on spreadsheet features that may not function correctly in limited mobile environments.

Not Recommended

The following environments are not recommended for full use of the system:

• iPad Excel • tablet spreadsheet apps • mobile spreadsheet environments • limited browser-based spreadsheet viewers               These platforms may also cause: • corrupted formatting • broken links between sheets • incomplete dashboard rendering • unreliable formula behaviour • impaired reporting functionality

Important Compatibility Notice

The SME Strategic Resilience System™ was designed as a professional analytical framework using full spreadsheet functionality.

For that reason, it should be treated as a desktop-grade diagnostic system, not a lightweight mobile spreadsheet.

To avoid file corruption or reduced functionality, users should open and work with the models on a laptop, notebook, or desktop computer.

Recommended Usage Statement

For proper performance, use a laptop, notebook, or desktop computer with the desktop version of Microsoft Excel. Tablet environments, including iPad Excel, are not recommended for full system functionality.

WHY THIS MATTERS

The system includes:

•    linked analytical models
•    dashboards
•    conditional logic
•    structured reports
•    multi-sheet calculation frameworks

These features require a more stable spreadsheet environment than most mobile platforms provide.

Closing Statement

The SME Strategic Resilience System™ is designed for professional desktop use. For best results, run the system on a laptop, notebook, or desktop computer using Microsoft Excel Desktop.
