Program Trade Analysis

Challenge:  How do you make the right program funding choices in a tough fiscal environment?

Manage delivery of required operational capabilities
Deliver quicker, less costly mission capabilities to the field
Do it all within a static or shrinking budget
Our portfolio decision modeling helps you foresee consequences of resource allocation options

See your current and projected status against key objectives and metrics
Link program delivery dates to capability objectives, and see critical interdependencies
Track and monitor dynamic factors such as cost, schedule, and performance
Drive resource allocations to best pursue your goals, informed by key data
Perform real-time “what if” drills, and see the results… and the unintended consequences
Instant comparisons of alternative plans help you best allocate resources to achieve your goals

Example: Office of the Secretary of Defense:      Chemical and Biological Defense Program

Challenge:  Support organization in Agency “cut drills” but manage risks to operational capability timelines and performance
Solution:  A process and support tool that allows decision makers to dynamically choose options and immediately see likely impact on their program portfolio’s cost, schedule, and performance objectives

Program Risk Analysis

Challenge:  How can you better predict and manage risks to program delivery?

Collect, analyze, and disseminate programmatic data quickly
Anticipate risks to program execution before they occur
Provide leadership with accurate forecasts of program health
Our predictive analytics provide advance insights into potential program deficiencies and their impacts

A proven cross-functional process framework promotes broad participation and consensus
Predictive analytics employ proven metrics that point to root causes
Automated data collection and reporting eases implementation burdens
Interactive dashboards enable "what-if" drills to quickly test potential scenarios
A focused set of options drives key program cost/schedule/performance risk mitigation actions
Advance insights into risks help you build practical mitigation plans to head off adverse consequences

Example: Navy ASN(RDA):  Probability of Program Success (PoPS) and the Program Gate Review Process

Challenge:  Forecast and avert program risks, lacking effective and consistent enterprise metrics, analytics, and reporting
Solution:  Our staff members developed an analytically-sound, data-driven approach for evaluating all Naval programs for risks. This tailored "PoPS" process and tool is now integrated into the Navy leadership's Program Gate Review process.

Asset and Infrastructure Planning

Challenge:  Balancing targeted investments in infrastructure against other areas that also drive success

How well does the physical infrastructure or the IT infrastructure support the mission?
Which potential enhancements might deliver greatest impact?
How to optimize across a set of potential investments?
We combine powerful data management, "what if" visualization of options, and solution optimization

See impacts of potential investments, and help forecast future needs
Account for the effects of thousands of assets and interdependencies simply and effectively
Open up a range of new options and strategies
Plan and implement your investments with confidence
Simplify and enhance asset management and planning

[/one_half]

Example:  Commander, US Navy Installations Command

Challenge:  Provide programmatic decision support to implement budget cuts, while resourcing thousands of Naval infrastructure facilities and assets as part of a worldwide capital investment strategy
Solution:  We developed a process and web-based model to facilitate enterprise collaboration, data gathering, and decision review, helping CNIC build and manage infrastructure development plans

Transition and Resource Planning

Challenge:  Managing assets and resources to ensure continuity of operations during transitions

For organizational transitions, unit moves, BRAC shifts, re-basings, and mission location changes:  can I execute my transition while still maintaining my operations and mission capability?
We help you create and resource transition plans aligned to your ongoing mission needs

Capture, integrate, and understand the key elements of transition planning
Apply proven scheduling models and effective  data management
Plan, manage, and optimize resources to meet your objectives
You can "build the airplane while flying it", ensuring operational continuity throughout your transition

[/one_half]

Example:  US Army Armor and Infantry Schools

Challenge:  Consolidate Fort Knox's Armor School and Fort Benning's Infantry School, with no slowdown in training
Solution:  Partnering with the Schools to plan the transition of critical resources from Knox and the dual use of facilities at Benning. We helped forecast resource conflicts two years in advance, so mitigation strategies could be developed well ahead of time.

Energy Planning and Decision Analysis

Challenge:  Managing assets and resources to ensure continuity of operations during transitions

What is the baseline and projected energy consumption?
Will current investment plans meet energy policy goals and mandates?
How to best invest in alternative energy or conservation projects?
We help predict future energy use drivers, and help you optimize across a set of potential investments

Apply proven analytics and optimization models
Track and forecast energy needs and trends
Identify optimal project investments, sensitive to conditions and risks
Assess plans for ability to meet policy goals
Plan and fund the right projects with confidence
Predict and manage future energy requirements, and select energy infrastructure projects for maximum impact

Example:  US Navy and US Air Force Fuel Use Predictive Modeling

Challenge:  Understand the potential risks and benefits of procurement and upgrade decisions on a range of operational energy expenditures
Solution:  Our staff partnered with the Navy and Air Force to model and visualize aggregate fuel consumption over time, with scenario-based "what if's" for individual platforms and across the fleet

Operational Capability Assessment

Challenge:  How do I determine investment priorities, across an entire portfolio or enterprise, with a wide range of contending programs, options, and needs?

How to determine investment priorities across an entire enterprise, or across a mission-portfolio of programs - a scope containing a wide set of competing priorities and contending options and needs
How to focus on and best enhance a single, high-importance capability
If operations involve multiple goals or capabilities, and success requires addressing all of them:  Where to act first, and how?
Our proven approach provides an analytically-sound, data-driven method to identify priority needs and opportunities

Evaluate plans and programs against operational needs
Identify and prioritize limiting factors
Derive key data from proven, efficient processes
Identify potential trades, and areas for accepting risk
Link priority needs to actions that best drive progress
Drive the development of prioritized action plans and effective investment roadmaps, targeted for success

Example:  US Air Force Capability Review and Risk Assessment (CRRA)

Challenge:  Develop a sound, consistent, data-driven method to prioritize investments across a range of contending needs
Solution:  Our staff partnered with HQ, US Air Force and Air Force major commands to develop and implement a strategic planning approach which the Air Force has continued to employ for a decade. Key data, capability-focused metrics, and stakeholder involvement drive quick and dynamic modeling and assessment of alternatives
