Before we engage, we evaluate ineffective practices and trends to better understand what is causing failure, delay, and/or trepidation towards needed change. We seek to blend strategic roadmap, investment analysis, governance, and architecture efforts with identifying workshops, proof of concepts, minimum viable product, and technical debt solutions.

• Our approaches analyze stakeholder drivers, pain points, immovable objects such as policies and milestones, existing goals/objectives, link to products and services, then the asset portfolio of apps, data, systems, and technology. 
• Our transformation approaches have been adopted as best practices at the White House, Federal Agencies, and States. Our approaches have been evaluated by multiple consortiums, international bodies, and ivy league institutions.
• We right-size engagements balancing 'quick wins' to gain trust and mavens in the process while aligning actions to the broader evolving strategy.
• Our Senior Architects bring deep experience and highly applicable architecture pattern re-use to support conceptual operations design, operating model development, and alternative analysis patterns in BI and data integration with customers.

To augment traditional consulting practices, we use our "An Open GenAI Business Case Analysis Best Practice: A Methodology for Transformation" loaded into an LLM to:

• facilitate early desk audit ingestion, digestion, and synthesis
• speed up trend analysis
• Facilitates gap analysis and questions to build out key findings and recommendations
• Draft into our blueprint and work products templates development

This speeds up the desk audit and synthesis process by 10-20x and helps our consultants focus on the subject matter expert factors and key recommendations.
