Strategic Services

Strategic Planning

We work with you to define your operational strategy and help you make critical resource allocation decisions – involving both capital and people – to deliver on that strategy. We start by helping you to create a vision of the future and manage toward that expectancy. In short, our strategic planning process helps you align your short-term decisions with your long term goals.

IT Strategy

We help you identify how to best leverage technology to improve performance and achieve business objectives.

Enterprise Architecture

We help you achieve your goals by refining or reconstituting your processes, data, and technology across your organization.

Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC)

We help you improve IT investment decisions, enhance processes, as well as refine policies and procedures to attain better outcomes. In the Federal space, the Clinger-Cohen Act is big on CPIC – an important consideration as you focus on investment/mission alignment. CPIC is in our DNA.

Human Capital Planning

We work with you to get, keep, and optimize the best people. From mapping human capital requirements, to streamlining recruiting and retention processes, to optimizing personnel assignment, to enhancing job satisfaction – we ensure your people are smiling and helping you meet organizational objectives.

Business Transformation

We work with you to consider "the big picture." What is working well? What can we do better? And how do we make it happen? We examine your business processes across the entire organization with a fine-toothed comb – and make recommendations that improve your efficiency, agility, and performance.

Project Management Office

We can assist you in building a Project Management Office (PMO) that helps you effectively and efficiently manage your large programs, on time and within budget. We follow industry best practices to help you define and maintain repeatable project management process standards within your organization so you can realize economies of scale. The PMO is the source of documentation, guidance, and metrics on the practice of project management and execution. It coordinates and oversees the development, evolution, and implementation of programs/projects or a portfolio, including developing and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders and customers.

Independent Verification and Validation

How do you make sure that your mission critical program/project meets needs and expectations? We provide Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) services to help you see potential potholes in your program and recommend ways to avoid them. We evaluate the work products of the program team from inception to completion – enabling you to more easily and cost-effectively identify and fix problems early in a program's lifecycle.

Performance Management

The issues that can reduce a promising project to shelfware loom particularly large now that more agencies are building dashboards to meet the administration’s goals for transparency and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's mandates for accountability. We work with you to identify and collect meaningful data, develop metrics for performance measurement, and deploy useful dashboards – helping you meet your transparency goals, as well as to manage and monitor your projects for successful performance.
