Strategic positioning and marketing of projects and initiatives: customized strategy to help successfully move your project or policy initiative through the maze of government approval steps and bodies.  With only a limited number of new initiatives approved annually, we can help you navigate the complex public sector landscape, and help you position your initiative to stand out among many.

 

Budget and expenditure strategy:  in a sector often dominated by a short-term view on cost reduction, we can help you develop a budget strategy that will help you stand out as having a strategic approach that maintains the integrity of services within a sustainable fiscal envelope. Budgeting can be much more than just budgeting, it can be a strategic tool to help accellerate change in your organization. 

 

Program review and assessment: in an environment of scarce resources it is critical to periodically examine your main program areas to ensure they are not only focused on moving your organization's vision forward, but are also effective and economical.  Not only can we engineer these important reviews, where appropriate, we can help you unpack and examine the results with a view to reinvigorate or redesign programs areas.

 

Establishing priorities: hint if you have 25 priorities, you have no priorities. Strategic Options can help you sort through a myriad of competing issues and pressures and develop a focused approach that will help your organization ultimately achieve more by focusing on less.

 

Navigating government agencies:  To a private organization or outside agency, the world of government can seem like a highly nuanced and bewildering black box. With over 30 years of government experience under our belt, we can help you understand this environment and position your thinking for maximum effectiveness.
