Modern workforce-planning initiatives rely on integrated technology and connected teams to solve complex problems that go beyond the scope of a single practice, department, or discipline. With an ever-evolving landscape of new fraud techniques and continued pressure to reduce costs, states face a monumental challenge. Forward-looking solutions help agencies respond to current threats, support the needs of employers, and be ready for whatever comes next.

Services

Our team draws from a deep well of specialties to create an approach that aligns with each agency they serve and each problem they solve.

Strategic Planning
Find the most effective way from policy to impact with a data approach that brings insight into achieving the outcomes you want for the people you need to reach—through well-aligned technology. Gap analysis, needs assessment, peer research, stakeholder surveys, and data analysis inform the roadmap for your desired impact.
Program Efficacy
Rely on objective analysis of efficacy data as you make hard decisions related to program value and impact. Our experts structure datasets that bring greater insight into key performance indicators and ROI—and offer recommendations based on journey mapping, Six Sigma techniques, and other tools relevant to your particular complexities.
Policy Analysis
Discovering the impact of your program on end users requires more than insightful data governance and analysis. Our specialists delve into the data and into the journeys of the people affected. They empathetically pursue details about experience and combine that feedback with qualitative analysis to provide clarifying insight.
User Interface and User Experience (UI/UX)
Program success demands attention to a complicated array of factors, not least of which is whether citizens can make sense of the journey and achieve the result they need. We remove obstacles to access by designing intuitive experiences, logical task flows, and inviting product elements.
Data Governance
Achieve the strategies and practices that let you securely share and utilize data across departments or agencies to support with your policy goals, create measurable outcomes, and align with how your team works. We help your program thrive with compliant data governance that breaks down silos and improves decision making.

Program and policy consulting for smart, data-driven decision-making.

Do your programs deliver on their original intent? Or are KPIs geared more toward administrative markers? The true intent of a food program isn’t to provide food. Its purpose is to remove the burden of hunger so program recipients can address concerns that will change the trajectory of their lives: receiving education, getting treatment for harmful substances, and focusing on their well-being. When measurements are focused on things like how many people received assistance, there’s no way to know if the program really did what it was intended to do: help people change their lives.

We have a long history of successful implementations because we’re as invested in outcomes as you are. Our Program and Policy Consulting specialists approach every challenge with extensive expertise—and with empathy. Because it’s the right way to work, and because the results matter profoundly for citizens.

Our experts are unphased by complexity and adept at aligning large numbers of stakeholders. They’re skilled at maneuvering procurement processes and leading portfolio management that ensures smooth project delivery, engages end users, and sticks to your budget. They integrate into your culture and advocate for your best interest to become effective, engaged partners who drive your project forward as if it were their own.

This community of insight brings objective recommendations for finding answers to your difficult questions and helping you achieve desired outcomes—along with a roadmap for reaching them.
