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
