Strategy consulting
is when business people and government officials — generally executives, boards, or management — bring in a third party to offer an outside, expert perspective on their business and organizational challenges.
Strategy consultants usually have considerable industry knowledge and are expected to assess high-level business and government policy issues objectively. They take a holistic look at specific problems companies are dealing with and give advice on how they should approach them.
We offer fresh, objective takes on difficult issues and ensure that businesses are considering every angle when it comes to big decisions. This brings value to organizations that need help with developing strategies or finding solutions to complex problems.
Planning and Development
Transportation Planning:
Transportation planning is the process of looking at the current state of transportation in the region, designing for future transportation needs, and combining all of that with the elements of budgets, goals and policies. It helps shape how a community or city grows by evaluating everything from streets and highways to cargo ships to public transit and bike lanes. The planning process has many factors to consider. Modes of transportation, infrastructure, technology, demand and users are all needs to be considerations for the overall process
Land Use Planning:
Land use planning is the process of regulating the use of land in an effort to promote more desirable social and environmental outcomes as well as a more efficient use of resources.
The goals of land use planning may include environmental conservation, restraint of urban sprawl, minimization of transport costs, prevention of land use conflicts, re-use of existing properties, and a reduction in exposure to pollutants.
Land projects involve due diligence and go through an entitlement process for obtaining zoning and development permits.
Zoning and land use changes are scrutinized through public meetings and governmental hearings. There are also requirements for all utilities, concurrencies, and impact fees.
Special Studies:
Special studies in the context of planning can involve a wide range of disciplines.
Business Development
Proposal Development:
We provide help in all aspects of proposal development, including overall management, volume leadership, writing, editing, graphics, layout, production, and delivery (if needed).
Best Practices
We understand why the various artifacts and reviews are necessary to achieve a winning proposal. Accordingly, we implement a formal and proven proposal development process based on the Shipley Method.
We value customer requirements and tailor our process as needed to conform to business operations, resource availability, and time constraints.
Content Development
Our company manages and develops the writing, editing, and design of your company collateral. We can help with your award submittals, project write-ups, resumes, and other boilerplate content.
We have experience developing standard operating procedures, document templates, and PowerPoint slides for your Oral Presentations.
Reviews
Proposal development is evaluated through a series of periodic color team reviews and assessments. Our reviews are designed to check key bidding success factors at the critical gateways in the business development cycle.
The review process is tailored to your needs and capabilities, designed to reveal gaps in compliance, procedure, and missing strategies.
BOE Development
The Basis of Estimate (BOE) development process results in a well-substantiated price that is competitive. Cost can be a deciding factor in the procurement process.
Post-Mortem
We can examine your past proposal submissions from the perspective of your customer’s evaluators to identify where improvements can be made.
Organizational Development
Process Improvement:
Within every organization, there are numerous processes that teams follow to plan, execute, and deliver their work. Whether you’re onboarding a new employee, fulfilling a customer order, or developing a new feature for your product, you likely follow a process. Without some structure or framework for how to map out, analyze, and improve upon our processes, it can be difficult to affect real change or know where to begin.
Kiefer Professional Services can “tailor” its approach to any process improvement task as a means of assisting an organization in reaching goals and objectives within prescribed timelines and organizational constraints. For example, a simplified approach could be deployed to outline the methodology of a process redesign. Beginning with the Charter, a Discovery and Analysis could support decision making to develop a smarter work approach of engulf on a major redesign. The analysis would include system mapping, process mapping, validation, and a root cause analysis.
Grant Writing
Writing to Win
We analyze the project objectives, match goals to opportunities, and employ a ‘writing-to-win’ approach. We understand that successful grant funding consists of two-thirds planning and one-third writing.
Plan Building
We help develop plans for your project and make sure it is identified in the community's planning documents. We identify a target funding source, and work with you to prepare a budget, schedule, and scope of work.
Moreover, we work to identify unique attributes that differentiate you from others competing for the funding.
Compliance
Applicants and reviewers often glance over compliance. Non-compliance with the requirements and specifications can result in denial and lost effort.
We ensure the requirements are met properly through creation of a Compliance Matrix.
