FINANCIAL ANALYSIS, PLANNING, and DEVELOPMENT
Return on Investment Models
Return on Investment (ROI) models are prepared based on a life cycle approach through careful attention to
and research on the environment that the model represents. Models may include such elements as the cost of
money, depreciation, operating expenses, revenue projections, Net Present Value (NPV), and Internal Rate of
Return (IRR).
Budget Planning, Implementation, Review and Analysis.
Comprehensive budgets are formulated using historical, industry-wide, and local understanding of the
organization. Appropriate spreadsheets or other financial tools are developed to facilitate execution of
the budget and enable communication of performance data for management review.
Accounting System Review and Analysis
An accounting system analysis is performed to determine what information
is required, and the optimum format in which it should be delivered. After
evaluating the current system for strengths and weaknesses, a new system
can be designed and implemented that will accommodate both internal and
external information requirements.
Business Plan Development
A comprehensive business plan is developed based upon thorough research with
the stakeholder(s) of the organization, and designed to be in concert with the
organization's origin and current status, and support the future vision and
goals. Annual reviews can be prepared comparing results with milestones
of the plan.
OPERATIONS and PROCEDURAL ANALYSIS
Efficiency Evaluation and Recommendation
An overview of organizational output will be performed using systems
analysis. Evaluation may include identifying physical and/or time constraints,
conducting program evaluation, and measuring personnel productivity. Any
remedial action that is recommended will be provided in a plan of action and
milestones (POA&M) to assist the client in reaching their productivity goals.
Business Process Modeling and Analysis
Based upon current procedures through interviews, observation, and
research, a business process model will be constructed using appropriate
software applications. This method of study facilitates a comprehensive
analysis, which in turn is used to identify and recommend improvement or redesign.
Commercial Activity Studies
A workforce analysis of government Commercial Activities can be conducted
in order to determine the feasibility of initiating Contract employment
or maintaining government workers, and developing Most Efficient
Operation (MEO) plans.
Inventory Procedures
Procedures involving physical inventory for both fixed assets and
consumable merchandise are analyzed. Recommendations could involve
methodology, equipment, storage, and loss prevention.
ORGANIZATION REVIEW and DESIGN
Policy Development and Employee Handbooks
Assist in the formulation of policy and/or employee handbooks with
regards to organizational objectives. A document ranging from simple
to comprehensive can be prepared following a thorough assessment of
organizational and constitutional requirements.
Task and Function Productivity
Task and function productivity will be evaluated using systems
analysis, observation, interviews, and surveys. Best business
practices for the size and character of the organization will be
recommended.
Training Programs
Assist organizations in establishing effective training programs
for employees in order to encourage overall productivity and maximize
output.
Management Information Systems: Analysis, Design, & Implementation
Information management tools will be developed to enhance the ability
of managers to understand and react to pertinent information on a timely
basis using organization objectives as a model. These tools may be
presented in the form of spreadsheets, databases, or reports.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Plan and Organize Projects
Project management knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques are leveraged
in order to meet or exceed stakeholder's needs. Project-planning
techniques to define work requirements, quantity and quality of work,
and required resources are applied. This in turn leads to the development
of a Plan of Action and Milestone (POA&M), and through the use of
automated techniques monitoring of the project by tracking progress,
comparing actual outcome to predicted outcome, and making adjustments can
be accomplished in a highly effective manner.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Survey Design
Surveys can be tailored organizationally to collect pertinent data,
and the results compiled and presented in many ways including color graphs
and written summary analyses. When done effectively, these can provide
significant enhancements to perspectives for decision makers.
Patron Utilization Analysis
Attendance information about facility patrons regarding demographics,
frequency, times, or other pre-determined criteria can be collected
and analyzed. This information can then be used to assist in determining
future capital outlays, facility improvements, schedule changes, and
program effectiveness.
Database Construction
Databases designed to capture information for budget planning,
long-range projections, and analysis can be provided. The
information contained in the databases can be financial or
historical in nature.
